Helimark,
I think that we have had this discussion before, other police departments can succesfully operate Notars for thousands of hours, and not have them sitting in the hangar all the time. I am not quite sure why yours can't. I am sure there are lots of reasons.
I don't question NL's knowledge or experience, (or indeed his elevated stature on this board), but because I don't have over 600 posts to my name does'nt diminish mine. I sell myself at job interviews, not in forums.
And with all due respect, I don't consider flying orbits all day long as the
real flight time you speak about.
