Chaps, just to remind you that last year's winners (or the year before - I can't remember) were the SouthCare HEMS service based in Canberra, Australia flying a Bell 412. They actually rescued a downed Bell 206 pilot from a lake after this aircraft crashed during fie bombing exercises. I think it also mentioned that a local Govt. Minister who was on board (the Bell 412) decided to get his feet wet and assist in the rescue. No Eurocopter aircraft anywhere to be seen.
Sort of have to agree that many many organisations around the world are conducting similar rescue everyday BUT if you don't shout loud enough you won't get heard.
Congratulations to the crew of the Brown County rescue service. Sounds like a tough job
