Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I do agree with many. I have always been impressed with the HEMS sector in Germany and DRF as well as ADAC's approach, but in this case, surprised would be the word.

Flying Bull, thanks for your valuable insight, I am sure a lot of effort and good will has gone into the project and I wish you all all the best. What is the speed limitation with the operator on the skids?

evil7, last year I read an open letter from Dennis Beese - Agrarflug's CEO (I am unable to find the reference now), as they were approach for help during the fires in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, basically it said that they would love to help but were unable due to the fact that their 412's were in Spain, Portugal and elsewhere in contract precisely for that, firefighting. As well as pointing out the lack of funds allocated for firefighting seasons and plans like the southern neighbors or the US, Australia...
