I'm not going to "like" that post because the event it refers to is tragic.
But anyone that thinks that the Air Corps is the answer to this situation rather than either CHC or Bristow - who both have proven track records of delivering SAR (short term logistics and politics notwithstanding) is deluded.
remind me:
How did the Air Corps EC135 HEMS operation fare in the early days?
Why was R166 actually airborne the night that it crashed into Blackrock?
And we won't even talk about what happened during (and after) their positioning flight in the 139 from Italy to Ireland!!!
