damaged by a drone?

WAS JUST ONE, of the 19 highly specialized/expensive fire fighting planes sent down from Canada to help California......

Our Military, considering their near Trillion dollar budget, could have a hundred of those stationed around the U.S. on standby,
24/7/365 ready to go anywhere needed.........for when the winds die down and they can be flown safely of course.....
