What other town with a population of 4,200 people has a Lear Jet, turbo prop plane, 3 helicopters and 15 pilots? Wow! Most cities with 100X this population could not boast this kind of response? 15 pilots? How much does this all cost? I am sure defenders will say that they cover a large area etc etc but what over kill. Kudos to the volunteers who risk their lives to save the stranded and lost. And sad that a large proportion of those needing help are of the younger generation. They have lost their traditional knowledge and seem spoiled, complacent, and take for granted that they will be rescued. I have worked many years on the Slope and any idiot knows that if you venture out, you better be prepared.
