They don't. [born & raised frog here]

Do you have a source about this whole blob stuff ?

There isn't much technical limits to remotely fly a C-130. But to answer your question, some existing drones have a 3T payload (see http://www.kaman.com/aerospace...).

For the sake of it, if you can fly a Predator on the other side of the earth to send HellFire missile to kill people, how hard can it be to have a few remote operated drone to put fire out ?

Oh, wait, it already exist... http://www.kaman.com/aerospace...

But I guess people prefer to have their taxes go to war machine to kill other people of a different culture, rather than real public safety machines which would make a change...

Then don't fly manned choppers, fly fire-extinguishing drones.

This is a bs argument. Even the Federal government lost track of all the regulations on records...

The first question ones should ask is not "is the current regulation failing ?", but "what was the reason of the current regulation ?".

I'm gonna make a guess at the current regulation's reason: it has nothing to do about firefighting, and more to do about smoke being detrimental to proper engine function and airplane control. A similar temporary regulation was put in place over Europe during a volcanic eruption in Island (if my memory serves me well).

The worst part is the drones can actually make the life of firefighters easier by providing them with a better situational awareness... but no, let's keep doing it as was done since the 16th century, because hey, we're afraid to change.

They were never free, just included in the price. Just the same about free shipping; the shipping charges is averaged over every customer.

I never delete anything. I can go back to 2005'ish. Storage is cheap.

Given that women very hardly put on any muscle, your comments is hardly relevant. Even Dana Linn Bailey (and her gossip'ed 'roid uses) hardly goes above 135lb off-season. Above 140lb of lean muscle mass, women bodybuilders hardly look feminine anymore.

you shouldn't date any girl weighting above 80% of your own weight... which pretty much render the pool of available girl pretty damn thin...

Overweight, anti fat-shaming, SJW / feminazi closing-in in 3... 2...1...

No they haven't. The current pile, 12kg, is enough for 3 NASA missions, one of them has already been allocated post-2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
