Hmmm...
Go Smoke.
I'm afraid I must take issue with your claimed time of 39.84 seconds for level one of water bomber.
We here at the aviation research centre have conducted extensive flight testing and have been unable to reproduce such a rapid time.
Even at full speed without collecting water it takes 36 seconds to overfly the fire twice, leaving just 3 seconds to fill up with the requisite amount of water required to extinguish the fire, a feat that we were unable to reproduce in our tests. Unless you claim to be able to vanquish the fire in a single pass which we believe to be beyond the release to service.
In short sir, we are calling you a liar and demand an explanation.
