    High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In 2002, two large airtankers a C-130 Hercules and a P4Y-2 Privateer crashed about a month apart while performing aerial firefighting operations. These crashes prompted a review of the maintenance and use of the entire U.S. large airtanker fleet. Ultimately, the whole fleet (33 aircraft in all) was grounded, dramatically reducing the resources available to fight major wildfires. Both aircraft were owned by Hawkins & Powers Aviation of Greybull, Wyoming and operated under contract to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). The crashes occurred in one of "the worst fire seasons in the last half century, one in which 73,000 fires burned approximately 7.2 million acres (29,000 km²)of land."
