No need for anyone to rant on the radio at ATC. Shutdown and talk properly post event. To make a comment over the air about the helicopter operating cost is not required under the circumstances ....its an expensive form of transport - no need to be whining about it , sounds like a knee jerk comment at the time in the heat of the moment.
You remember a random ATC call from back in July 2019.. wow. Your facts are incorrect Sir
