These guys are awesome. I was fortunate enough to do a ride along with Trooper 2 back in 2021 and that one 12-hour shift motivated me to change my entire career path. I got my paramedic a couple years later and now I'm on the path to becoming a flight medic in the army national guard. I have these guys to thank for giving me that experience and helping motivate me to do more with my life.

[@TheDrMedic]

Thanks for sharing this! Love it!

They run an awesome service. They respond to any "officer down" call anywhere within MD and also parts of WV, and PA. Troop 5(Cumberland) is actually based at a small airport in WV. Upgrading to these AW139's made a huge difference. They provide so much training to local services, I don't know what we would do without them. If I'm not mistaken, they are funded by a $1 or $2 fee when you register your car. It might have gone up, but that was a great idea. Stay safe bro.

[@S.W633]

Isn’t Trooper 5 actually based out of Wiley Ford, WV?

[@joebeach7759]

@S.W633 Thank you, you are correct. Couldn't think of the airport. It usually shows up as Cumberland as it's area and west to the border and east to Hancock. I think Trooper 3 or 4 in Frederick picks it up from there.

TROOPER2 😿 Never Forgotten

[@kennethiman2691]

Cool chopper. But hanging with Cal during a game!!!! Off the charts!

[@blaketurner9389]

Insane service and facilities. Thank you for the awesome knowledgeable insight 🥰

[@TheDrMedic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OMG_No_Way]

WOW. I’m more impressed with all the training aids. Incredible.

[@Gsavega2803]

Thank you for showing this Police perspective of Flight Medics. What a great combination of people who enjoy what they do and legitimately want to save lives. I’ve been in LE for 25 years. It would have been an honor to work as a flight medic or along side them if my state provided that service. Great videos, thank you.👍

[@krookeddreamz09]

Living so close to Martin state airport I am blessed to see this along with the A-10s frequently.

[@TheDrMedic]

Love those A-10s!!!

[@joebeach7759]

A lot of people question the cost. But when you have the absolute best of everything, that has to be cost effective in itself at some point. If you are going to get hurt someplace, this would be the place to do it. From the firefighters and paramedics, the MSP and the level 1 centers throughout the state, including Shock-Trauma at the University of Maryland, you chances are probably better than a lot if other states

[@michellepowell1956]

Martin State airport was the home to Martin aircraft.

[@thatguy7085]

One of my flight instructors was Trooper 7 when they went High Tech helicopter in 1989

[@fyremanjef]

MSP went to the 2 pilot system and upgraded the helicopters, and crews, shortly after the 2008 fatal crash of “Trooper 2” during a MedEvac in bad weather. There are some parts of rural Maryland, where the Trooper is the first arriving ALS provider

[@justinhaase8825]

As you know my bro is a former flight nurse. I know multiple paramedics but Nurses see the world differently. Diff skills.

[@beefybingus3236]

got to watch trooper 1 perform a SAR mission for a bridge jumper a few years ago and they fly over my house from time to time, theyre the absolute best of the best when it comes to what they do

[@tda024]

I may have missed it in the video. But just in case it wasn't brought up, all patient flyouts by MSP are completely free of charge to the patient.

[@juju1896]

Trooper 6 rattles my roof every time they return from Shock Trauma to their base a few miles from here. Love seeing them fly over and often Trooper 4. I’m amazed at how many patients are flown to Shock Trauma by all the heli services. ST looks like it needs a conveyor belt on the roof at times.

[@beefybingus3236]

one thing that i think got left out on accident, the pilots are actually civilian positions in the MSP while the paramedics are sworn law enforcement officers

[@Delatta1961]

Great presentation, as usual. I miss flying the very complex helicopters. It’s a lot to keep up with, but once mastered, it makes it so much easier

[@TPL2018]

Pretty sure these guys were the first air unit on the scene of the Key Bridge collapse too. They're the best of the best and have made me proud to be a Marylander ever since I was a kid. I'm 20 minutes from Martin's so they fly over my house all the time. Awesome birds; sure do miss the sound of those Dauphins though!

[@tda024]

You're correct. Baltimore City FoxTrot was out of service, so they were the first helo on scene that night.

[@Duh_Huh_24]

Cool video and chopper. They desperately needed to replace the dauphine fleet they were flying. My old man was flown to shock trauma in the old Trooper 7 and talks about how much of a rattletrap that thing felt like in flight. He knows whats up after being a navy test pilot for 28 years. That absolutely is a simulator, just not a full-motion one. THe first navy sims I flew were stationary.

[@lexiyoutube]

Nice!

[@drp1bb856]

First video of yours I ever watched. I’m curious why so little time was spent actually showing interior video shots? The majority of the video was you talking into the camera. I’m not a flight paramedic I’m a trauma surgeon, & would get the call if a on site surgeon was needed. I was far more interested in seeing a demo of the workspace being adjusted, etc. If you are a 1 man show I understand that can be very difficult, but B roll edited into your video would’ve been great. Thanks for the video!

[@nj_e.s.v.p4472]

love these Helicopters. New Jersey State Police use these helicopters for their aviation operations. they do the same missions as Maryland. the only difference is the crew setup. where in Maryland the pilots are civilians and the Troopers are the medical personnel. New Jersey the pilots are State Troopers who carry firearms, while the medical staff which consists of a Flight Paramedic and Flight Critical Care Nurse are civilian personnel who are affiliated with the State owned University Medical Center. and if they need to do any sort of hoist operation they will pick up members of the Special Operations Unit to assist with the hoist

[@georgekraus9357]

Can you check the history of MD State chopper for me? I recalled they hold the only record for chopper "arrest" One MD State trooper actually landed and arrested a bad dude in the farm field

[@nobodyspecial7185]

Used to build those.

[@jerimahjohnson8698]

Flew on one in 2007 and landed on the roof of shock trauma. I was on the dolphin. I trust the trooper pilots more than civilians

[@Powerstroker250]

Don't know if you've done a series on the California Highway Patrol. They are amazing

[@tomklitsch6638]

Do a show on the Hershey Penn State Medical Life Lion helicopter.

[@JuanSanchez-ht2el]

No Mamés !!! That’s a huge helicopter. Is that helicopter bigger than the UH 1 ?

[@kenl-w9638]

Yes. Substantially as far as the cabin goes. MTOW 7000kg vs 4300kg

[@cammiller5516]

You should come to Jamestown ny and do upmc helo
