As many of you readers know, the aerial firefighting in the USA is and will be making some changes prior to the next fire season. Aircraft wing stress and adverse loads, at low level, has been identified as a problem. One of the cures we are looking at is the use of stress monitoring equipment on many of the aircraft used. In the forum on the C-130 crash in California, there were several post on the use of a computer in Canadian and Royal Air Corps C-130 to record stress. I am gathering information, of any sort to include in a report on this subject. If you have any information, contacts, stories, suggestions, please send to me.
Thanks in advance
