Got me stuffed as to what the 22 aircraft are.
I count 6 x Bell 214's (2700lts)
1 x S64E (7400lts water)
2 x Air Tractor 602's
7 x Air Tractor 802's

That is a total of 16 helicopters/aircraft. Clearly the minister has no idea that the 4 AS350B3's and the 2 S61's are not coming back this year.....

The air attack, air intell and spotter aircraft no, they take it over 22 as there is 9 scouts, the Bo-105, and AS355 F-1
