That's cheap. Know what the going rate is to charter a helicopter? No?

Then don't complain.

There are some in my state that can run 10K an hour, depending on capabilities.

A small Bell Ranger runs about $600 an hour to operate. That is before you pay for the pilot or make any profit.

Some people say there are more important things in life than money. Those who wouldn't pay $1200 to have themselves or loved ones rescued clearly think differently.
