There would still a fair number of experienced ag pilots in Australia capable of doing fire bombing but lack the special tick of approval from NAFC. They require 100 hours on type, ie AT802 and 50 hours minimum of actual firebombing experience logged. Now here is the catch 22. You can't go firebombing to get that experience without NAFC approval, but you won't get approved unless you have the experience. Only in Oz.
