I actually posted a video.
We had two civilian helicopters.
We landed them in the field to pick up, I think it was eight firefighters.
And these are big old boys.
So we had to like really balance the weight.
But that's what I'm saying.
Like people are like, oh, why are you guys here?
You don't need to be there.
There's military, there's government.
And I'm like, then why are we doing these missions?
Like if there wasn't a need for us, we wouldn't be doing these missions.
So, yeah, we were moving a lot of people, county officials, state officials, search and recovery crews.
We'd take our search and recovery guys from aerial with a bunch of chainsaws and literally fly them to the top of a mountain, drop them off, and have them work their way down, just going looking and clearing.
We literally load the helicopter up.
I mean, a little sketchy sometimes, like carrying propane tanks inside the helicopter and stuff like that, highly flammable.
But I mean, we would load up like five, six propane tanks and then just go up there and drop it off to people.
Not you guys.
I doubt anybody does.
Thousands.
Thousands.
