US military over Mallorca: What the increased flight activity really means

Answer

The article raises the question of whether more frequent overflights could add to environmental and safety concerns during the dry season. It does not provide evidence of a direct fire threat, but it does argue for closer monitoring of air quality, fuel residues and emergency planning.
