Nothing wrong with the Hueys they have. The Huey will pull a 320 gallon bucket all day long in Florida and, with water sources everywhere, a Huey could put a lot of water on a fire per hour. The Huey is a simple helicopter that goes hundred hour to hundred hour with very little unscheduled maintenence and parts are widely available, as well. Using a 119 for firefighting makes about as much sense as L.A. City Fire Department using the AW139. There's areason you never see these airframes used in the fire world. |
