Theres civilian hercs there was 115 L-100 made for the civilian market, also the FAA allow american built hercs and other former military aircraft for firefighting. For some reason they are hesitant to allow americian built military aircraft on the civilian register. Helicopters seem to be an exception, its one of the reasons that foreign warbirds are popular its niegh on impossible to get american built aircraft on the civil register. They have to use foriegn aircraft like a friends father who owns a canadian built sabre
