I was actually joking when I said 10 ..... But am horrified to see that I was quite close !!!!! There should be hundreds of helicopters going in and the reason is all to do with over regulation and greedy useless helicopter companies systematically ripping everyone off . My helicopters were leased to fly into all these events every year from around 1985 but rarely now due to landing fees and rules . Luckily I have people who I have dealt with for many years and the helicopter is kept reasonably busy but I think general charter now is dying out slowly , especially in singles . The time was that you couldn't even find a single or twin to hire on these big events as they were ALL busy !! Wouldn't it be nice if someone tried to get it back to how it was .......!!!
