Does any one know if the aircraft has been used operationally yet. I see in the press that there has beena fire burning in Northern Tasmania for the past week or so, and at various times threatening Beaconsfield and surrounding community's.
Would it not have been feasible in the early stages of this fire to have flown the aircraft down (flight time 40 mins) to put out the fire before it got as a large as it is now. From the press reports, there is a large amount of resources being used juts to contain the fire.
