Default Nothing good here

In other words: Nothing has been done yet but we are trying to create some positive energy for a proposal that has generated a substantial number of negative responses.

This is nothing more than a smoke screen to generate favor for a seaplane tour business that a substantial number of people have voiced opinions against.

1. What medical care will the "rescued" people in your care receive?

2. By who?

3. How will you pick them up and transport them?

4. To where?

"This service could respond quickly to a boat crash and potentially get the injured person to a hospital with major trauma services such as Manchester or Boston"

I'll bite: You are out on a tour with 4 passengers onboard and you get word of a boat accident. (Still trying to figure out how you will get word and know your "services" are needed)

1. What do you do with the passengers on your airplane?

2. How will you pick up, secure, transport, and care for the injured person(s) in your custody?

3. Are you prepared to deal with patients with head trauma? spine injuries? intoxication?

3. Anyone onboard your airplane with medical training?

4. Any medical equipment onboard? (stretcher? oxygen? splints? bandages?)

3. Where will you land with the injured persons? (Obviously that will need to be a place with and airstrip so that the injured may be moved to an ambulance for further transportation)

4. Do you feel that your "service" will be quicker than the local police/fire department or civilians in boats that would be in the area and offer assistance and transportation?
