think right tool for the job, you don’t use 10 ball peen hammers to do the job of a sledgehammer.

every aircraft has it’s place even though it may not seem apparent at first.
So 5 x Airtractors operating simultaneously cannot replicate the same drop pattern as 1 x 737? Intuitively, this would surprise me. 15,000 litres is 15,000 litres.
