    Nobody is going to spent at least 4 million per aircraft to convert them for fire work to finish up with an aircraft that has three times the operating cost and carries the same load as aircraft now being used.

    At that price ($4M) a couple or more of re-furbished Antonov-2's are looking good !

    But of course the Powers That Be will once again make it impossible to use them in Oz.

    Old AN 2's aren't the answer, they have Dromaders flying still in Vic this year. Same engine as an AN 2 and carry more and faster, word is they will only use turbines from after this season.
