Ok last suggestion from me today (would have put them in one post but people pefer them to spread them out) here is one incentives for people to use helicopters or VTOLs on search and rescue.

And that is to pickup the astronauts. This one mostly done during the Apollo programs but also done and few other occasions.
The event is special and RARE (like in real life), basically search and find that rocket capsule that astronauts tend to use when returning back to earth, they typically land in the ocean.
So you either use a helicopter or VTOL to find that capsule in the ocean somewhere, and you get rewarded with plenty of WP or cash.

To make it special, devs can make it very rare or only appear on the OSS like how Lynwood or Valois also have special event jobs.

yes since this was a famous event

#

all they need to do is just find that rocket capsule.. shouldnt be too hard to implement

yeah and the signal cutout from the rentry means that they still have to go looking for it

#

searching for astronauts was way harder than it is now

#

scott got lost because of his dumdum

lofty temple
#

used up too much fuel to take photos

#

still

#

good suggestion imo

lofty basin
#

it would vary from sar

#

but i like the idea

lavish patio
#

also in addition to astronauts rescue I can also add 'recovery of rockets" like the Space Shuttle main booster and such

#

tho do they use heli on that ?

lofty temple
#

oh yeah the srb

#

they put them on boats i think

lavish patio
#

ah ok

lofty temple
#

this would make eiko space center 10x more useful

lofty basin
#

less boats

#

more like raft

lavish patio
#

but not the Falcon 9 series

Would also be cool with a mission to recover an F9 booster

add SH-3/HH-52 with this!

lavish patio
#

probably would be similar, besides the massive drag they add

#

However, a emergency search (incase in an event where Abort Alpha 1-2 Bravo 1-2,) is needed would be a lot harder.

#

Bravo 2 would be the hardest.

that's like saying us space center Skrolled
