kona4breakfast Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 inevitable... just surprised they are buying new, though it's california so maybe i shouldn't be. Quote
helonorth Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 At $30M a pop and they are buying 9-12 of them, I would have to say nah. Quote
adam32 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 And double up on pilots plus a CC in the rear to call out drops...not a very good deal in my opinion. Quote
kona4breakfast Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 I doubt they'll use a crewman for drops, unless that's how the LA County Fire guys are doing it. However, this is the government we're talking about. An increase in personnel and expenditures is a feature, not a bug. Quote
