I think they have a 205 and a 206. Other than that, everything is chartered.<br /><br />In an emergency, they can contract any available a/c including importing a/c from anywhere on the planet.<br /><br />I was struck by the reference to a night flying requirement. It isn't clear what that means an why they needed the Sea Kings when they have access to other assets with night-time capability. For medevac they can easily get hold of 103 aircraft, for example as they would any time.<br /><br />It isn't clear what they are talking about there. I suspect it is just BS since they also took the ships as well. The a/c don't need the ships and 423 could have just as easily ferried over a/c from Shearwater along with the ground crews and operated them from land bases if all they wanted was aircraft.<br /><br />As it is, they are getting way more needed capability that I suspect they just don't want to acknowledge - like the fresh water-making capability of the FFHs.Edward Holletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152397042408814142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-42529175118551148812010-09-24T14:18:34.957-03:002010-09-24T14:18:34.957-03:00WANTED : 1 Sikorsky CH-54 (Tarhe) to pick up and c...WANTED : 1 Sikorsky CH-54 (Tarhe) to pick up and carry off , the biggest EGO , that of Danny Williams .<br /><br />This man is the biggest obstacle to the very existence of this province and its people .<br /><br />Do we exist as a people just to prop him up ?Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073679460819778886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-46956036932393809012010-09-24T09:44:29.845-03:002010-09-24T09:44:29.845-03:00I did see his-self say that he would welcome some ...I did see his-self say that he would welcome some of the federal sea kings to augment the provincial chopper fleet.<br /><br />Question for Wally: How many choppers are in the provincial chopper fleet cause I cant seem to find them in my search.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616269412884770034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11466749.post-29347058556662376382010-09-24T09:16:39.979-03:002010-09-24T09:16:39.979-03:00Minister Mckay has offered the assistance of the M...Minister Mckay has offered the assistance of the Military , has the premier RESPONDED ?Ursulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00073679460819778886noreply@blogger.com
