Comments:Finland offers helicopters, personnel to assist Greece with forest fires

Why the Hell hasn't the United States offered to send Tanker 910? It's not like they need it more than Greece. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 23:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, for one it is a privately owned aircraft. Also, it is a one-of-a-kind craft. The State of California has contracted for the exclusive use of the craft for the entire summer. And, yes, there are still wild fires in California . --SVTCobra 00:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I hadn't realised California had fires of it's own to deal with. Otherwise, in a situation as drastic as this, I'm sure California could ahve arranged something expensive but affordable to send the plane over - a lot of the stuff offered to Greece is drafted in from the private sector, these Finnish choppers included.
