Someone with an old Ford pickup truck would volunteer a fast trip in the back of the truck.

Better a freebie pickup truck ride than a 14-thousand dollar helicopter. What did people do before the DHART copter was here starting in about 1995?

You can complain about how expensive it is all you want, but when you or a loved one are in a life threatening situation you will be thankful that the service is available. I know I was when my sister had to be airlifted...
On a side note, DHMC just announced that one of the two DHART helicopters will be relocating to Manchester to better serve the southern part of the state.
