I've been wondering how long it takes them to reload/refuel and how many sortie a day they do. I saw a video of one of the big jets bombing on the far south coast and it was operating out of Richmond, which seems a long hike to and from the fire. However, I think that was when things were a bit hairy at Canberra airport.
