    Hi Kim I read your comment on landing zones

    you probably already know this but when temperature and humidity is high it is extremely difficult for a helicopter to lift off.

    these cases warrant a larger landing zone so the pilot can lift off forward instead of a vertical lift.

    in our area we have cold winter weather and this is actually what most pilots prefer,

    Im sorry to hear that helo service is not good in your area as they are a vital resource in saving lives.

    anyhow glad to know you.
