ST and ET, would I be right in saying that the big issue for the Puma family is gear box cycles writing down the life of the gearbox much quicker in a Puma family aircraft over similar in the Black Hawk family? Both aircraft can take big water tanks and would seem to be suitable for firefighting otherwise. I have some data to suggest that the cost of a new FireHawk is around $20m maybe more and you still have the restricted category issue which is probably above a 225 at market price today.
