Well... I read that the Louisiana Dept of Wildlife and Fisheries is helping to evac some of the patients from flooded hospitals. I thought OMG! :shock: "yes, ma'am; we need you to sign here so that we can transfer you and your baby via airboat across the river to another hospital"... now who in their right mind would want the game warden responsible for their health care? What happens if there's a boating accident? Aren't these the guys that check to make sure you have a valid hunting license?! :smt105 I'd wait for the BK-117! Thanks anyway! 8:-)

hey g.... yeah we have one similar to that, not nearly as nice.... use it for bow fishing gar at night.... takes 4 dozer batteries to run the lights..... can't keep it in the garage, my wife has her tractors in there.... ladies first ya know..... speakin of ladies, about half a mile from the tiller races is a railroad tie mill.... we buy the cut off ends for firewood ..... headed there this weekend, going to pick up a [color=violet:221b60f841]pink and sparkly [/color]'pea shirt' and send it out west..... course we'll have to doctor it up abit......h

The tool of a real transport team! Sorry, don't have a way to scan my pre-digital photos of the past, but the BK-117 Eurocopter is awesome, if somewhat outdated. Hmm.. airboat vs air transport. :-k :smt042

Today a friend told me about some idiot sniper trying to shoot Bell South engineers off of the line poles in New Orleans. He's retired now after 38 years with Bell South, but to hear him tell stories of weather catastrophes of the past and the work that is required to recover these areas really makes you think about the unsung 'heroes'... I understand that there are literally millions of rerouted connections in progress... that's amazing. Stellar job guys and gals!

Yep, add the air marshals to the list!
