Thanks, Nathan.  The first implies affluence.  In the adjacent hangar, 
there are sports cars.  Nice toys if one can afford to spend that way.

The world of emergency support seems to thrive on helicopters. But it 
takes a lot of careful engineering and craftsmanship to provide that 
reliable ride.  Questions asked by others led me to find that the 
hanging balls are vibration absorbers.
