RE: Lifeflight Inbound
The local ambulance Service pulled up with a guy we were
told had fallen from a horse and had some type of head trauma.
Vanderbilt is the nearest Trauma Center 45 miles away in Nashville
as soon as I saw the Ambulance pull up I knew what was coming (We had'nt Called them)
I asked the Ambulance Driver if lifeflight was enroute he said yes about 4 minutes out.
it was really windy that day, he flew over the field checked our winsock direction
and setup a Landing into the wind, just like a plane would.
our Field is 1 of 12 LZ's for Life flight in Hickman County.
Hope we never need too but would come in handy if anyone was ever
hurt badly at the Field.

RE: Lifeflight Inbound
no ruts left behind this time,
though a sheriff's deputy started to pull his car onto the runway
(he was new) and was told that they knew where to land and for him
to get his car off the field.

Did you tell them to even out the ruts they left in the runway?

RE: Lifeflight Inbound
That's a nice looking BK. They are good aircraft for EMS, but I'm glad I don't have to work on them any more. Helicopters should allways land and take off into the wind.
