I've given it some thought and IMHO as they are not true Medical aircraft then the only way that SAR a/c would be ok is in a dio with them unloading casualties into an ambulance.

Not true medical aircrafts??

How come?

When they go out to get some poor people who crashed and have been waiting for some days in the snow with injuries, they are medical aircrafts to me!

Howdy fellas,

Not to jump in here as the 'devil's advocate', nor to disagree with you Stormbringer but.....

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that the casualties on the ground that the SAR aircraft is slowly hovering over, or have finally been found after probably too many days of searching would vote that they are indeed very welcome medical help.

Hey, can we put in What-If SAR birds?

Hi Pete

That sounds a neat theme for a campaign and the projected start date gives plenty of time to clear the decks of current projects.

Hmmm! A Po-2 ambulance might be fun!

All the best
