The AAR skills required (and currency in them) plus the assets needed and not in any small way the cost precludes SH/SAR AAR. In reality the number of occasions in which it would be useful doubtlessly out weigh the costs. I have made it to 141/2 west with a final top up on the road on the edge of a small Scotish Island (all to do with a gravity top up) and still had 12 minutes on scene (thanks for finding it Nimrod) but with so many calls on a cash strapped budget I thing the support I regularly had from Tizwaz or on a rare occasion a FARP C130 was more useful and cost effective asset. Don't get me wrong if it were available I'd vote for Rotary AAR and the Osprey but hey it's only a dream.
