overland sar - big deal!!!!!
Blimey, a few people are touchy about this one.
In my humble opinion, both sides of the fence (civ / mil) do just as good a job and no one really does it any better. We both fly SAR helicopters, at times in atrocious conditions, over land and water, when any normal person would be closing the curtains and turning the tv up.
It matters not if your chosen machine is yellow, grey or red and white or whether at night you live in a green world or black / white. The job gets done regardless.
Change is coming and with it better aircraft, equipment and medical standards, which is good for who? The casualty and thats who we are there for!!!
Cheers
