A ) large fire = arm chair aviation/fire experts come out
B ) Arm chair experts with many years of aviation fire fighting experience always talk about these large planes.....
I am sorry but big does not mean that they are going to work here in Australia.
There is also an issue with Incident controllers not calling in resources quick enough to stop a fire. QLD,SA,WA never seem to have huge fires in their metro areas. Only VIC/NSW/ACT appear to. So what are those states doing well?
The trackers have been sold to a company in the states. I have been lead to believe that it is for parts only. (I am happy to be corrected)
