    Some of those fire crew training birds are made of steel instead of aluminum because the aluminum catches on fire and burns too easily if temps are high enough.

    Somebody should tell that to the US Navy so they would stop the aluminum superstructure fad on their ships. The Falklands war should have taught them that. Goes up like a match when hit by HE shells or bombs.
