Chopper Squad, an action adventure series centred around a helicopter surf rescue team stationed on the piers of Sydney's northern beaches. The team has to deal with accidents on water and on land especially with the regular bush fires around the city. Many think this is the fore-runner of Baywatch (see link below) due to its high accent on scantily clad ladies on the beaches.

As most episodes are of the 'stand alone' type the first airings for each episode in Season 1 varied across the Australian stations.
However Sydney was first to air all of Season 2 episodes and did so in the official order.
We have shown the episodes in the order they were intended to be shown regardless of first airing date.
