Those helicopters? They cost dollars per hour. The sum includes fuel and maintenance. The cost of the crew is variable, but figure $105 per flight hour. You'll have to pay his medical as well, along with life insureance....

The sum total for a turbine-powered Bell 407 helicopter flied these days? I suspect it is around $700 per hour. That is what all the radio and TV stations are paying for the helicopters hovering around the various house fires and high-speed chases.

N!
