Plans originally called for 339 aircraft, but funding may allow as few as 180. Six planes may be trimmed from near-term production.

A panel of aircraft experts says the Forest Service aerial firefighting program had an unacceptable safety record after three fatal crashes this summer. It criticizes the FAA for a hands off stance on certifying and inspecting firefighting aircraft, leaving safety decisions to contractors and agency personnel. FAA disputes the panel and cites limited congressional authority and concerns about rigorous standards for wartime style planes.
