Can anyone tell me why the Blackhawk with the SAR markings is constantly in the air. I see it everywhere all over the state, no matter where I am. I ski, hike , boat etc. pretty often and have lived within a couple miles of Laconia airport for many years.
I recall a discussion a while back about a fee if you need to be rescued (double taxation) imho. Not sure if it is current law but it must get pricey to have that bird aloft almost 24/7.
Im presuming this is a search and rescue rig and can definitely appreciate its role. Im just not sure why my storm windows are rattled once sometimes twice a day from the chop chop touch and goes at LCI. Is this necessary? I moved to the lake to relax
