I make these videos for the love of sharing and teaching others. Like, share, comments so that RU-vid will make it more visible to others. The aviation industry is very guarded and hope to inspire people to join the aviation community. Thanks.
Flying medevac has its pros and cons but one thing that will never get old, at least for me, are scene calls where we land in something other than a pre-designated landing zone. One thing that doesn't happen ofter is when we have the opportunity to land on the Interstate. Today we had the opportunity!
Whenever we land away from an airport or familiar landing zone it keeps everyone on their toes looking for the associated hazards that can present safety concerns. Biggest thing is to take things slow and never be rushed.
As always, it is a privilege to fly. Thank you PHI for the opportunity!

@amwelch0424
@amwelch0424 Год назад
When I was a volunteer FF/EMT in a small town (1993-ish) we were taught the basics of establishing a LZ that would work for most any helicopter & later learned the specifics of what the only air service that covered our area wanted. It was a small farming community with 2 lane highways & lines running near each; often on both sides. I'm guessing that well over 90% the landings out there were in the closest, clear fields. That area was almost 2 hours from a level one trauma center... left us all very thankful, many times, that we had them available! Once I moved to a "city" I actually dispatched for one of air services that had rotor & fixed wing aircraft in 3 areas throughout the state. They also had a dedicated NICU team that usually flew out & back, but in case of bad weather or even just from fixed wing to the hospital they even had their own NICU/mom ambulance set up.

If the pilots had any doubt that the weight may be over the limits they were comfortable with, I would not fly on that trip. My time on the aircraft was limited and I flew with the crew with the full knowledge of all the stakeholders in the program.

Literally caused me to tear up, when the firefighters were talking about transporting the patients. Not only are the crews skilled at maneuvering that chopper into obscene places, but they pick up the worst of the cases for transport. God bless them and the work they do.

Do you consider cashier calling out a minor for attempting to purchase alcohol impressive as well? Because that's about the proper level of comparison right there. They are certified, professional helo pilots. What they did was: asses the LZ for possible obstructions and then proceed to land on what is basically a taxiway (which is where helicopters usually "land" on airports anyway). If they deviated from the specified LZ on any busier airport, the consequences of such a failure would probably have been greater than if they parked it on top of the trees here. Not saying flying helicopter is easy, but as far as flying helos goes, there is nothing impressive going on here. Check out mountain rescue helicopters balancing on a trail railing (possibly in windy conditions) to load casualties to see impressive flying skills.

@@harrodharrod5239 Well dam.....as being a former 1st Responder in Baltimore, which is home to the world renowned Shock Trauma Center, staffed by the trauma Dr that founded the Golden hour, GO Team & being the first non military medevac in the world, im a bit familiar w/the entire medevac process. Maybe this was a 10 on skill level, but it is no where close to an ordinary flight, the last time I checked, normal helos don't have dying patients a next to pilots being shocked back to normal heart rhythm or coding while trying to land on a small rooftop of a hosp or even in flight. Our md state police medevacs do hoist rescues in water/woods & you never know what a LZ looks like until you arrive, pilots trust ground crew to properly find a good, safe, clear LZ.....a pilot landing at night on NVG's, even if on a roadway is super impressive.....Micheal here did a Great & impressive job.

You guys are amazing!! Our local Life Flight comes over the house kinda often. Mostly to go around our little one horse town airfield. But I sure do know when a patient is abroad. Fortunately I've never had the pleasure of meeting them. But I know someone who has and she's got nothing but good things to say about them........from what she remembers. Anyway, Thank Y'all for being there when it really counts!! Saved two little boys right in front of my house late one night. Just amazing work y'all do. Probably not enough recognition for it I'm sure. Again, Thank You!!

22 years total in emergency services in Pa just north of Philly. I was pretty blessed to cover alot of bases in those years FD / EMS / 911 County Dispatcher / Flight Dispatcher for both Pennstar (Philly) and Lehigh Valley Medevac (Allentown), EMS Tac Team member. And the one thing I never ever got tired of was watching aircraft come and go from our calls. Ive stood on the ground for em, and when I worked in Philly the flight deck was on the roof of Univ of Penn trauma and nighttime ops was always awesome.. Stay safe out there!

U of Penn is right near one of their sports fields, I was doing work with their video team at a night game and wow that place is busy. There was a lot of helos in and out that night, it was like a little rooftop airport. Do they get transfers from lower tier trauma centers? As I doubt there was that many major accidents that night.
