So as another bad bushfire day is looming for Victoria tomorrow, it is interesting to note how very quickly and seamlessly the locally-based LAT/VLAT fleet have become an essential and entrenched part of the planned response, (unfortunately they have already had to be heavily utilised this fire season) .....makes ya wonder why they were not always here, because they are sure proving their worth now, (even had the CFA singing their praises on the CFA FB page ).
I note that the silence is now deafening on this subject from the once very vocal anti-LAT/VLAT "expert" detractors on another model site .
