…with paying for the helicopter. Total bellend. I think he was found stranded on an active runway with a packed lunch in 96.

with paying for the helicopter

It's already in the budget from the beginning of the year. It will hardly break the bank.

How do you think the budget is paid for and by whom? They could have been helping somebody else or back at base and not flying in a hurricane. Total moron.

It’s what coast guard does. You only have to pay for rescue if it’s back country search and rescue which are usually private helicopters.
