Vey well put.

Except that neither of you are paying for it.

Ed and I were talking about the general case of foolhardy risk
junkies and fame seekers,, not (just) this one example.


and my response still applies. You aren't paying for that - it's
already in the funding for the SAR service.

Including the charter of an aircraft?

May well be. It is common for organizations like this to have plans to do
just that - it saves on the cost of ownership. I don't know myself, but I
would not be at all surprised if a charter was part of their operational
plan all along. But back to the comments that have appeared here - that
charter airplane did not cost the people doing the commenting, a penny -
or even a half a penny.

Do you think they charter aircraft for TRAINING?
