RE: A Mountain Monday Rant and Proposal
Howdy sir Keith! wonderful post and that plane video is awesome, wow what an aircraft! Yes why don't we built a fleet of those? I don't know why they aren't doing that right now.
I think they need to go bigger. Not 7,200 gallons, let's go for 15,000! Needs to be short take-off and landing as well in order to get in and out of small mountain lakes. It's a tall order, I know, but something has to be done. It's also more complex than I make the problem out to be. We actually need some fires, that's part of nature. The dead-fall has to be burned up before it piles up too high. When we put out every fire the dead-fall accumulates and the fires are much hotter when they do happen.
howdy again sir keithboone! yes sir, didn't they used to do control burns all the time in small areas at a time to keep the brush and stuff cleared out? Even the Indians did that here in Texas.
With our technology there is no reason they can't design and build a plane like that so I'm wondering what the hold up is?
Well... I guess I'm the first person to think of it! :-)
