I've never been to Hawaii but I'm sure that there has to be a couple of Guard and Big Army copters in Hawaii that can drop water but the public has not heard a single word about any active aerial firefighting during the recent fires.

I did some digging and found one small article that said there were two 60's and one 47 dropping water but I can't help but wonder if there were other air assets that simply were not used?

Anybody familiar with that landscape?
