Shocking! There are other places on the planet to burn!
Many of the pilots used in California Fires are now down in Australia flying sorties over fires in New south Wales. There have been months of pilot training sessions for fire fighting!!
President Trump following the Camp fire in Paradise, CA laid down the law to California Governor Gavin Newsome that the federal money would stop flowing to California to offset their budgetary shortfalls. This meant that the disaster capitalists would have to find other markets.
Over a year ago numerous pilots employed by various corporations who are hired by Cal fire were asked to go train additional pilots in Australia. Today we see what they were training the new generation of eco-terror pilots to attack!!
Fighting fires in California is a multi-billion dollar business in California and now its gone world-wide.
Tanker 134 begins CAL FIRE contract with new livery
When Air Tanker 134, a C-130Q, flew across the Pacific in October, 2018 to begin a firefighting contract in Australia, it had just completed its conversion into an air tanker. There was no time to pretty it up with a fancy paint job, it had work to do.
It has only been back in North America for a couple of months but its been busy with maintenance and getting new livery. It looks like it was painted white and then partially covered with a fancy wrap.
And it has already started its second contract, this time with CAL FIRE. In the last couple of days it as been spotted at Redding and Porterville.
The military has used C-130Q aircraft as a strategic communications link for the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile submarine force and as a backup communications link for the U. S. Air Force manned strategic bomber and intercontinental ballistic missile forces.
A C-130Q is similar to a C-130H, but the “Q” model was outfitted with a six-mile long trailing wire antenna for communicating with submarines and bombers.
