I don't understand the use of "purpose built" in the first sentence. Aren't all aircraft purpose built? HistoryBA 19:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- You have to take it in context of the sentence, the aircraft was purpose built for fire fighting, where as other aircraft may be for cargo transport, passenger transport, etc. -Dawson 17:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Which gets back to my original question, aren't all aircraft purpose-built? HistoryBA 20:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Not really. Many are designed to serve multiple roles, while purpose-built aircraft are designed with one singular purpose in mind. -Dawson 21:13, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
