They use helicopters with a purchase cost of at least $2 or 3M, and a

I live right next to a CG base and they fly their helicopters
virtually continuously. I guess they send air assets to a distress
call less than once a month. Is it really better to pay them to check
out the bikinis on Waikiki than it is to have them saving some
lives?

Training, training, training. Whether skimming the surf on Waikiki or
the Bearing Sea its all good practice.
