    LA Sheriffs to Replace Aging Sea Kings

    I like the part where it says they "examined" the Russian Mi-17 as a candidate. Now that
    would have been wild seeing a, American LEO flying a Russian copter.

    i'd love that! not much of support network here but i'd love seeing it! i love that they're going for second-hand birds instead of new ones. it'll keep maintainers busy but still be able to keep birds flying without too much problem.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
