It is my understanding that Aero Union retrofits the military planes (P-3’s) for fire fighting, and contracts to the Forestry Service those retrofitted aircraft to fight the fires.

The existing P-3’s it is my understanding remaining in the inventory of the military are not retrofitted for that sort of service, therefore they can’t be of any use in fire fighting.

I agree the Republicans will somehow be blamed, but the timing of this action by the obama masturbation leads me to believe it is another typical Democrat action again poorly conceived in the typical Democrat manner that the typical “unintended consequences” monster once again rears its ugly head.

As I said it makes no sense to divest themselves of fire fighting assets at the beginning of fire season, but perhaps, and on second thought some major donor to the Democrat Party may have a dime or two involved in some other potential asset.

I'm no longer convinced the consequences are unintended.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wasn’t aware that there were any P-3s in civilian hands.
