Went and got pictures of my '81 next to one of our finest today . The Dolphine took off moments before I went out to get set-up, so I'll get some pictures of that another day . As one of the medics, we get to ride along with these beauties for 12hrs. when we sign up .

Hey EMTMike, I work for a flight service in Louisville. Actually, I am a communicator for them We dispatch all of Kentucky, parts of Indiana and University Hospitals Med-Evac in Cleveland. Total of 7 helios, 1 F/W and 3 ground units. Soon to be more helios due to Air Methods buying us out so we will be added probably 4 or 5 more in Kentucky.

I haven't had a chance to take a picture of one of my vettes next to any of ours yet. We just lost our Dauphin and it was replaced by an EC-135. We also have BK-117s.

Small world I guess

Wish I could get a pic but most of the ships around here are on roof tops. The only time I see them is on the side of the road or at the hospital LZ. during a hot load

I love flying with these guys specially in the Delphines with those 16 rear rotor blades . I love the sound it makes when it passes by and when it's landing . The Police also have one in thier hanger, it's much smaller, and one of the pilots is in our area Corvette club
