Thanks Greg ; I've seen photos of the two ex U S Army Blackhawks on the Aussie register. We've had U S and Kiwi registered firebomber Blackhawks operating in W A during the summer.
Yes Brenden, I know that ex Aussie ARMY Blackhawks cannot be used to transport people as CASA considers these ex military helicopters an unacceptable risk to safety as I mentioned in my post.
But why are they allowed to evacuate civilians in times of crisis ? Doesn't CASA consider this risky ? And why is it so hard for Aussie operators to get approval to convert some to fire bombers as distinct from being people transporters ?
