My parents live down the road from an airforce base
Back when I was living there, the medevac chopper was stationed downtown BUT local noise ordinances said it could only fly 3 night flights per week
Can you imagine needing to spend that 20-30K to save your life but you couldn't because some citizens decided thier uninterrupted sleep is more important then your life ?
Since I've moved out, they reassigned the chopper to the air force base, now it can make as many flights as needed (day or nite) and rather then being tied down to one hospital it can now take the patient to 3 different hospitals, depending on distance and expertise
There have been days I've seen that big yellow bird pas by 3 times
