We're looking to Ljubljana now.
The 'environmental' Il-76TD can be used for
oilspills and forest fires and the tanks are
removable in about 1' 15" for straight cargo work.
This means, of course, that one could feasibly station
the aluminum tanks at select airports all over the globe and use the
ferry-to-destination space for cargo and spares, not just
deadheading with empty tanks.
Helluva deal.
As for your military idea, try the ANG*. They are looking
to take over firefighting from the civil boys with their
old aircraft and their union mentality.
For oilspills, I'd be looking to the Coast Guard, another
unit of the military which has shown support.
ANG to take over aerial firefighting?
