I believe you’re correct but STARS doesn’t have enough range to make a round trip and needs to stop and refuel somewhere. I’m which HALO is able to be dispatched and transport to Calgary and then go for fuel before returning to base. Make a call to the MLA’s in that area if you’re one of the many folks who travel down that way for hunting trips. The Pinhorn is a long ride in an ambulance away from an emergency room!!
