P-3 aircraft back on fires.

They are finally back in the air.
I’m glad to see them back, I’m a big fan of a diverse fleet of air tankers.

In hot and high conditions these are in my opinion better than jets… very accurate, precise and much easier to control in steep terrain. A very good machine indeed.

Possibly one in Colorado under a DFPC 2021 contract starting in July?

They’ll be good to see regularly working again, it’s been a while (though one dropped by last year).
