(at night, you would illuminate the area with the headlights until the pilot tells you to go dark, and then he lands on light amplification)<br />so, all this accomplished, the helicopter arrives and lands in about as boring a process as helicopter landings ever go. an ambulance shows up to pick up the special backboard that model of helicopter uses, so they can return with the patient already on the backboard.<br />while we wait for the patient to arrive, we have a very nice chat with the pilot on what specific things to do in case the whole world goes sideways, which is good to know, just in case. oh, and we ask about his fuel. "oh, we've got an hour of reserve fuel available. not sure why that thought that was an issue."<br />finally, the ambulance gets back with the patient, and we get everybody assembled into the helicopter that is going. (that model carries the driver, the flight attendant - er - nurse, and the patient) <br />finally, as the helicopter disappears over the horizon, I ask the ambulance crew, "so what's he going by air for?"<br /><br />"oh, it's just a scheduled checkup, but we didn't have a car available to take him by ground."Ken Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166383392696452631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-82065464374139729942019-03-29T03:11:19.048+03:002019-03-29T03:11:19.048+03:00So what's the problem?
