Thumbs up

How many lives were safed in this week by helicopters and their crews picking up people from the streets ?
How many lives were saved by flying transplants even by adverse weather ?
We helicopter people do our jobs as save as it can be.
Yes, for sure, sometimes we have to carry some risk to do that, but it's worth it.
Helicopters are safe. For me one of the safest places to work since 33 years.
The problem is that nobody, except family and friends, worries seriously about people die in car crashes because to many accidents happen and, if a helicopter crashes it's in the media so everybody knows about.

Happy landings
