I have zero time in firefighting. Friend of mine who does says that there are some changes coming. He says that soon, "Type 1's" will all have to be manufactured after 1990. I guess that will put a bunch of current a/c out of the game? So long, Vertol 107s and S-61's? And Type 2's are all going to have to be twins *and* manufactured after 1990? Like I say, I'm not in that segment, but if what he says is true, it sounds like these new requirements could mean big changes in the fleet. Any elaboration from those in the know?
