Dear Editor,

I just want to ask a question. Why doesn’t the Belize army have any helicopters? Is it because they can’t afford them? I’m pretty sure the government could spare some money to at least buy them one helicopter. I believe that helicopter aviation is really vital to an army as they more easily access the outback. Also, when a criminal is on the run he can easier be tracked from the air and this could probably be sooner done with a helicopter than with an airplane. it is something we can consider, the usefulness of a helicopter.

Yours truly,

Nathan Mendoza
