Dear Sirs,

Olympic Helicopters can provide valuable assistance to you as a time saver in your investigations and search operations. By eliminating wasted travel time for inves- tigators and for evidence to reach your laboratories, a chartered helicopter can result in economies far ex- ceeding the charter cost. A helicopter can also be in- valuable for searches or surveillance operations.

We have two types of helicopter available for your charter. The Hughes 300 is a small two passenger machine that is ideal for beating the ferry schedule, congested or non-existant roads, or for searches. It cruises at 80 MPH and charters for $75 per hour. For longer distances and when you are in a real hurry, our Hughes 500 turbine powered helicopter is the answer. It carries four passengers at 140 MPH cruise for $225 per hour.

Respectfully yours,

[REDACTED]
