"insanity"

Can you really expect sanity from the kind of person who would be in the Forest Service today?

And given the all-round superiority -- and availability -- of the Russian plane, bribery looks very plausible.

I wish this administration would do some serious house cleaning in the USFS and NPS. Their incompetency knows no bounds.

Yes, they get constant "new" regulation that they must always meet. They even offer to bring in plane for free use, as long as US pay for associate costs...as demonstration. Answer is: not safe enough to fly in US air.

Having travelled much, I explain to him how it is likely that US C-130 (tiny plane) maker bribe government office not to look at any...then he says...but how? Why? What of people's losses? Then I tell him: Do you really think that bureaocrats who sit in DC give damn about fires on other side of continenant...not their houses. He see's light after that.

Maybe they should go advertise in states affected, go to insurance company???
