Bill To Acquire New Aircraft Through A Build-Operate-Transfer Partnership To Be Introduced
Colorado State Senator Steve King says he will introduce a bill in the state legislature that would authorize a private-sector partner to finance, design, construct, and operate a fleet of Next Generation airtankers. The legislator says that the Colorado Firefighting Air Corps can acquire Next Generation airtankers through a build-operate-transfer partnership and save the state billions of dollars in wildfire damage.
