In 2006 Healy will have contracted helicopter support from http://maritimehelicopters.com. The helicopters will be Bell Long Rangers, http://maritimehelicopters.com/longranger.htm. Depending on the configuration and gear, the payload for this helicopter while deployed on Healy will be less than advertised. The size and number of helicopters on each cruise will vary depending on science requirements.
