Police helicopter crashes onto Glasgow pub
Lemain, I am coming to the same conclusion. Except one has to accept that in some circumstances helicopters are useful. Medivac, probably justifies the use of a complex but versatile aircraft. Just about everything else could be done fixed wing or other modes - always accepting it would be much less convenient! Is there any reason that police cannot use a simple a/c like c337, with a steady cam pod? Or a drone ? If ordnance can be dropped on the Taliban by drones operated by pilots based in Cambridgeshire why do the police need three crew to be airborne? This was a tragic accident but maybe it is time to review what is necessary against what is simply desirable?
