We need helicopters

Why?

They can help save us

They can take us to places we can’t get to

They can help us with our farming

Helicopters are used to get injured people out of tricky places like in the bush or on the mountain or in a fire. Helicopters can get to dangerous places where a car and an airplane can’t get to. Helicopters are used for rescues where speed counts.

Just imagine if I was tramping. I had to walk through a valley and then up to the top of a cliff. The bush is all around me. Imagine if a goat jumped out behind me. I got a fright and rolled down the cliff. I hit a tree sticking out on the way down. Luckily it stopped me but I am injured and I have to get to the hospital. This is a job for a helicopter!

Imagine if I wanted to go to a mountain with bush on it. I wanted to go hunting in the middle of nowhere. A helicopter could drop me there.

Imagine if I wanted to go skiing at the top of the mountain. There isn’t a chairlift and the ski motorbike can’t get there. A helicopter could drop me at the top.

Helicopters can take us to places that are new or hard to get to.

On our farms helicopters are good for fertilising our paddocks. Especially the paddocks on a steep hill or with heaps of lumps. You can’t fertilise these with the four wheeler so you NEED a helicopter. Farmers love helicopters.

We all love helicopters. They can do nearly anything!
