Link is to article about Canada’s great need for firefighting aircraft.
Call me crazy… but 99% of the time wouldn’t a shared firefighting aircraft fleet shared between Australia and Canada or perhaps a European nation only be needed in one or the other place at any one given time of year??
https://www.cdnfirefighter.com/canada-sends-military-transport-plane-crew-to-fight-australian-wildfires/ here’s one from 2020 when my state was pretty much entirely fire. There’s a number of articles from over the years, mainly around really bad fire seasons.
Very cool thanks for sharing the link!
