Like most of the other guys, I'm sure, I share your frustration.
In fact I have been trying to come up with some kind of solution as to how a rapid helicopter response unit could be financed for quite some time.
As we are aware the cost of machines is one of the first major hurdles to overcome. But what if that big IL76 had a belly full of overhauled surplus Hueys in? They would have cost a quarter (or less) of a 407, have a greater load capacity, be simple and rugged to operate and maintain in the field, and be cheap on parts and service...(just a little thirsty!)
All we need now is someone to buy them...........come on guys, we all earn too much money, we'll just chip in and buy a couple off Uncle Sam, out of December's bonus...................................
