    For the record, if anyone is in a serious situation and needs rescue, SAR is free in the US. A medical helicopter, on the other hand, is not.

      It depends. SAR in my state is coordinated by our Fish & Wildlife Department and staffed with volunteers.

      They will bill you if they determine you willfully caused the situation leading to you having to be extracted.
