Jeremiah: I asked the crew a question about how often they use the helicopter. They said on some days it is quiet and they wash the helicopter and practise. On other days they may have five or six rescues to do.

Joshua: Because the helicopter is awesome, I might become a helicopter rescue pilot one day.

Eashan: The helicopter can travel at 220 km/h.

Phoenix: They have conducted over 70,000 rescues.

Paige: Westpac have been doing these rescues for 40 years now.

Maddison: They need about 30 square feet to land.

Liam: The rope from the winch is 90m long.

Siena: The helicopter has two engines.
