Helihub,

Having operated in CH in the past I can offer a slightly different view.

It is unlikely in CH that you can fly more than 10 minutes from a Jet Fuel bowser!

Take a look at the endurance of the old A109K2 for example.

Helicopter flight in CH is up and down, not along.

From one operating base you can probably see the next one!
