I really did appreciate the information but the Chief wants kits that are
made for this application.
Sorry to hear that your Lifeflight personnel don't want any help landing. I
have a lot of time in helicopters and whenever I can get an LZ marked,
especially at night, I really appreciate the help. Here in South Carolina
it is required that the FD light the LZ. In training it's spelled out and
adhered to strictly. Also the exact kit that he gave the web site address
to is the one the other department brought with them. It is lightweight but
streamlined so as not to "land in the next county". They were used on a
concrete parking lot and not one of them moved an inch! I was VERY
impressed indeed!
Regards,
Ed
