Link is to article about Canada's great need for firefighting aircraft.

Call me crazy... but 99% of the time wouldn't a shared firefighting aircraft fleet shared between Australia and Canada or perhaps a European nation only be needed in one or the other place at any one given time of year??

I don't know much about these planes, but I imagine it'd be a task to get them across the ocean twice a year.

That plus maintaining it would be hell between jurisdictions.
