Illinois State Police used to have a program called "Air-One". It was 2
Enstrom's roaming the state that were basically leased back to indiviadual
towns for a night or a week at a time. When not roaming a particular town, it
just roamed around the sky's looking for trouble.

The occupants of the aircraft were, one State Trooper and a civilian pilot. If
there was an individual town involved, that person would be flying the left
seat instead of the trooper.

This was a great program. Nabbed a lot of bad guys....then it was nixed by the
state.

I don't think anyone in Illinois uses helicopters anymore.
