Helicopters are seriously needed out this way – break-downs, rerouting, and general lack of numbers complicate getting anything done, sometimes for days – which is a big problem when you factor in that not every base can be supplied from the ground, or if you are trying to get medical attention. So don’t drop the milk, or get shot.
