I want to know what you guys think of trying to relieve a little of
the Op Tempo on our military by creating a mission specific helicopter medevac/relief group? The Presidential fleet is retiring its VH-3 helos. I think they would be great as flood/Hurricane/tornado medevac in places like Florida/Haiti/Honduras. I was involved in the start up of a museum for WW2 warbirds and the old mechanics came out of the woodwork to work on them again for free. I think the same could be done for staffing a new organization that uses these helos for relief work. As long as they were fed well and the crews were taken care of, I think retired pilots and mechanics would love to do something like this. The big benifit would be taking our overused military out of the requirement. I am sure there are a bunch of people that want these helos. But I think it would only need to use 4 or so of the 11 that are retiring. What do you guys think? Clayton |
