It's now over 12,000ha, with a few more aircraft on task: 8 x Helitacks, 6 x Firebirds and 4 x Bombers. I'll be there from today, back to the smoke factory ;)

Is the Kmax still around?
Anyone seen it with the new tank this season? RB |
Saw the Kmax working up near Thredbo a week or so ago at the Tom groggin base.

K MAX
Saw it working with the tank.The pilots hate it.Apparently it gets very unstable in certain flight conditions and there certainly isn't much clearance between it and the ground (talking millimetres here).They much prefer the bucket and 100 ft of line(most being loggers) and they certainly are more effective with the bucket from what I saw.Maybe the tank need more flight testing :confused:
