Helicopter base visit, 28 June

I am dead keen for just the base visit (would be 2 adults, with me and hubby) would be awesome to see the bikes arriving en masse.

Interesting notes: Was reading about the Westpac Helicopter last weekend and two points that stuck in my mind were....
1... it cost $7000 per hour to keep it in the air
2... The trust do not get paid by ACC if they deliver a body ie: if a person that they pick up dies enroute, ACC dont pay out.

....And on that note,

Ive just sat and watched the Helicopter from the "Lucky legs, window on the world" (Read my CBD office window) go across the horizon which took roughly 47 seconds....

Thats (as equally roughly...) $97.38c just there.....

That makes ya think !

Scarey money really. I was reading in the herald this week about the effect the fuel prices are having on them too! Have you see the Motorcycle Trader just out? Awesome article in it about the rides around the country!
