When the NSCA was around and used Bell 205, 212 and 412 fire bombing helicopters, they would send some of their fleet overseas once the fire season had finished in Australia. From memory the choppers went to Spain and Canada for the Northern summer. The same could be done if we had a large firebomber aircraft.
