Australian fire managers have been studying the use of air tankers, increasingly so in the last two years. They are on the second year of contracting to use a large air tanker and a very large air tanker during their summer bushfire season. And recently some of the aussies have traveled across the equator to see how the aircraft are used in North America.

Cal Fire: Good point Johnny.
You need a tactic: Initial Attack

Interesting, how tankers are used? I would have thought a trip (working vacation) would have included how tankers are really used, Cal Fire. Did the Aussy group have a opportunity to visit the 747 project down the road from CoE?
