long running issue, remember reading about it some time ago. i think the operator had agreed to modify flight paths around the sensitive bits?

trouble is

living in smaller rural type towns, the local chopper outfit that does the annoying scenic joy rides often is also the first call with the bucket for firefighting, search and rescue for lost boaties or trampers and sometimes even the nearest medivac option.

i think the operator does have some responsibility regards fitting in with the community but that moaner needs to think about the implications for her and her community should that operator go out of business because he cant supplement his income
