Thanks for taking the time to watch this one. It was quite an adventure and, again, super impressed with the entire flight crew and the organization as a whole. Let me know if I can come check out your helicopter and operation! Stay safe, everyone!

[@briansimpson7503]

I worked at the U of U for 30 years and AirMed for 28 of them. You can't ask for a better program or staff anywhere in the world!! Thanks for making this video and highlighting my old program and friends. Fly Safe out there!!!

[@TheDrMedic]

I’m glad you liked it! It’s a great program, and I’m sure they miss you!

[@nowayoutstp4]

Thanks for your service! Sounds like a good career choice for you. I already dread the day I can’t do it.

[@russelldaumer969]

Another great Metro Aviation program!

[@johnnysbricks483]

It’s not a Metro Aviation program, it’s owned by University of Utah Hospital therefore making it a program of U of U Hospital with Aviation Services provided by Metro.

[@russelldaumer969]

@ well yes, you are correct. On the aviation side, we refer to the programs that Metro provides aviation services to as Metro programs, so that’s why I worded it like I did

[@rickthomson2616]

Past Flight Nurse here, such a great program, nice shots of some of the older machines. Truly the best gig in the world. Fly safe mates.

[@andrewexner9684]

Great content and mission!! Thank you all for the service 🙏

[@rickt.1870]

I used to work at the Park City base occasionally when AirMed was an Air Methods program. I was very impressed with the program, and the people who work there.

[@TheDrMedic]

Awesome!

[@ernelrodriguez4515]

One of the best part of my life was to work with this crew! GODBLESS

[@Alicia-wl6wq]

Super proud my partner works for AirMed - the best in the west! Amazing overview of everything they do!

[@TheDrMedic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@TheSuperdoit]

in nursing school now, this is the goal

[@ericolson5782]

I worked for AirMed in high school as a mechanics assistant! Had so much fun washing and waxing the Bell 222 and 206L! You should check out Intermoutain Life Flight as well in Salt Lake. Awesome program! Thanks for making a great video!

[@TheDrMedic]

I will definitely check them out! Thanks for the tip!

[@reymora6832]

This video was awesome! Thank you for putting it together. I love working for the AirMed. Team. Just FYI and to make things even better, AirMed staffs Reapiratory Therapists on their Peds/Adult team as well We fly with them in their Rotor and Fixed wing teams. AirMed can configure their crew members according to their patient needs. If an adult Nurse and Adult RT and a perinatal nurse os needed, we will make it happen!

[@TheDrMedic]

That is awesome to hear! 🤙🤙🤙

[@ludvikblondal9885]

Awesome!!!

[@TheDrMedic]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ludvikblondal9885]

@TheDrMedic we in Iceland could surely use the H145 ems helicopter..but there is resistance..cost!!! But with difficult terrain/weather/lousy road systems , the time factor is a strong incentive for a EMS helicopters...currently the coast guard H225 is used, a very capable helicopter but very expensive..and at times this resource is taken for the ems/mountain rescue..when in fact ther main purpose is offshore use...you should go to Iceland to check out the coast guard ops. ..they do a fantastic job..anyway fabulous channel..greetings from Spain/Iceland

[@Zap370]

University of Michigan would be a cool tour with their ec-155s

[@gchyz]

Stellar!!! 😎👍 My service here at home (STARS) fly's the 5 bladed H145 with fenestron... beauty a/c...

[@TheDrMedic]

Thanks, it's a great aircraft! I checked one of those out with a video I did with Boston MedFllight. Would love to come to Canada some day! but...burrrrrrrrrrr

[@801Aviator]

Loved the video! Great seeing the old photos of the "BK" MU-2s, and the 1990's silver paint (though I much prefer the white, black and red). I was a little surprised that you didn't mention the 222 accident, given your focus.

[@TheDrMedic]

That story will take a lot more research but it will be done. 👍

[@RVingToSimplicity]

Great video. And I agree, 24 hour shifts are extremely unsafe; both for ground and air. There’s some really busy ground services who’s standard shift is 48 hours.

[@colegilli]

so cool to see this video of my hometown team! I will fly for them one day! mark my words!!

[@TheDrMedic]

Awesome! Best of luck!

#teeshirt It's "Wicker Bill" . Thanks for the great videos. Mike in Michigan

[@timothyst.pierre8836]

#teeshirt Gurney Flap! Great vid, keep it up!

[@farfetch7]

Technical term: Horizontal stabilizer On the EC145: The left horizontal stabilizer is simply the left side of the tailplane. Function: Maintains the helicopter's pitch attitude by adjusting its angle of attack #teeshirt

[@stevenrogers4663]

I call it a Posse Box..... At least that is how it is referenced when we go to purchase it...

[@Journeyman1642]

Sweeeeet!!!

[@alanm8932]

16:31 & 17:25 *minimum* required shift time for the week, for full time paramedics & nurses is 36 hours. Not sure how that makes sense but when you said it twice… Perhaps I've misunderstood something but should it be *maximum* 36 hours for the week? Great video though!

[@TheDrMedic]

Hi @alanm8932 Every employer has some form of minimum hours to be considered full-time. The minimum at this service is 36 hours from three 12-hour shifts per week. That is the minimum. Many agencies the minimum is 40, 48, or even 56

[@dwightmcqueen5771]

Im about to take my girlfriend for a discovery flight . She is taking college and really smart I think she would make a awesome pilot

[@jaredwhite489]

a hutter attacked by a grizzly bear in Yellowstone was air med'ed from west yellowstone to U of U med center like 2 years ago

[@stevenrogers4663]

WOW, awesome review and what an opportunity to participate in an actual mission. Hopefully it turned out ok, but even if the outcome was not successful, from the video, you can see that no effort/resource was spared. At then end, you looked so cold and I was like, "where's your hat?". Would have loved to see the FW platform as well, but you were busy. One question: What prevents the rotor blades from freezing in flight? I understand they are covered on the ground, but what about in flight?

[@mattfisher5195]

This type of helicopter doesn’t have any sort of blade de-ice. Some airframes do but the ones in the video do not. If you aren’t operating inside actual clouds, rain, ice, snow (any kind of visual moisture) at below freezing temps the blades won’t ice up. This aircraft is prohibited from operating in known icing conditions to prevent things such as the blades icing up

[@Zap370]

I want to see you tour Allegheny Lifeflight

[@farmhanddiaries5422]

A co-pilot wouldn’t be a bad thing to have on this sort of aircraft

[@nwanchorcertification]

The left side is not fixed ? Its used to adjust trim grrr stumped

[@SkidsUpAviation]

Do they not put their helicopters in a hangar?

[@jaredd9716]

If the weather is forecasted to be really bad, they will reposition to their main hangar. However most of these HEMS bases are based at a hospital or leased from the city, like the base in the video, it’s a water reclamation plant; so no hangar.

[@PfizerRN_NavyReserveCaptain]

It's a Gurney flap (i.e. Wickerbill) #teeshirt

[@frankbill9172]

It would be cool if you posted a video about the recent collision between an American Airlines plane and a Blackhawk.

[@alanm8932]

23:55 -5°. Are we still on °C, like the pilot talking earlier or is this -5 °F? (-20 °C). Guessing °C as uncovered head & hands but sunny & no wind, so who knows?

[@TheDrMedic]

I'm a Floridian,,,,,,who lives in Oklahoma,,,,,,and all I can categorically say is that it was COLD lol

[@mattfisher5195]

Most all aviation temps are in Celsius. So if a pilot was mentioning temps for the day it’s more than likely in Celsius.
