  ehhh we heli evac civilians alot of times. especially those sailors on commercial ships.
  
  the old lady was on superstar virgo.
  
  i remember when i was on a cruise, this man had a heart attack and the chopper came. who knew that the chopper i saw would be the one i touch so often now.

  no lah, medical personnel can activate the chopper if they really need it.
  just that you gotta pay for it.

  hahaha, and jet fuel is actually kerosene. we sell waste fuel to other countries and they use it for oil lamps and waste fuel would be the fuel we collect from the aircraft every day when we do sampling to make sure there's no water contamination.
  
  all that bull about fuel is expensive is pretty much baloney. (of course if some 'experts' reading this will come in and try to prove otherwise).
  
  hmmmm commercial i think its not possible since the RSAF is the only one controlling the helicopter community here. which company can afford cheap labour, 24hr standby, ready aircraft spares, medical officers, pilots and aircrew?

  So poor people will rather die than call for heli-evac, or, after being heli evac-ed and getting the bill, wish that they were dead?

  hahahahhahhaha
  
  i think starcruise would foot the bill. really not sure about that. i'd be more interested if i got a share of that money
  
  not like i got extra cash for running out and getting wet.
