It's probably simpler to say it's the third busiest, by your opinion.gkoutlis wrote:What are you on about??? - Rescue 65 a few months ago, clocked up its 1000th rescue mission...

I always seem to see on TV the poor bastards who get taken out by a rip in the water and a chopper comes to their rescue.
That is completely unheard of over here. There is an RAC chopper but from the amount of (minimal) publicity, it seems that it only goes up once or twice a year.

Don't forget rescue 65 been politicaly driven and not all of the +1000 jobs have been rescues. A lot have been hospital retrievals as big PR and the WOW factor.
When Westpac rescue helo was disbanded in WA years ago, it sat in RFDS hanger for 5 years doing nothing.
I still feel that the Police need at least one helo of their own.
