Zusammenfassung:	The two models we developed to assess the mix of large aircraft that would optimize society’s returns on investment in Forest Service initial attack capabilities provided a frustratingly broad range of answers—from 18 large aircraft in the Local Resources Model to 56 large aircraft in the National Model GACC-restricted variant (see Table 7.1).¹ As Table 7.1 shows, the National Model suggests an increase in the number of scoopers (from 40 to 43) when water goes from efficacy parity with retardant to being half as effective. Further, the National Model again recommends 43 scoopers when water is one-quarter as effective
