So that's what JPINFV looks like.

Hey Delaware peoples, are there any rotor wing flight services within a couple hour drive of y'all that does a mix of transfers and scene calls?

In Delaware it's Christiana LifeNet (air methods) with a base in Georgetown and Wilmington. A couple of our medics are flight medics there.

Then there's the philly, NJ, DC and Baltimore stuff close by as well.

Thanks for the info I'm probably going to stay where I am for a couple years to get flight time and build my experience, then probably apply with one of the counties

Christiana LifeNet does a "mix," but the vast majority are transfers. Delaware State Police has a helicopter with a Trooper Medic staffed out of the same airport as the southern LifeNet unit, and they're primary on all scene calls. If they're already on a call, down for some reason, or a scene requires multiple helicopters then LifeNet is utilized.

In MD it's a rare instance to have anything other than a trooper flying at a scene. Their controllers handle all requests for air evac across the state. You have to call them first, and get their permission to go beyond their aircraft.

However, there is Medstar out of DC, but I don't know their whole deal beside being hospital based. There is also Stat Medevac they run across the region and run emergency scenes in PA, and I believe in a pinch can run in MD.

I guess a 13 minute mile isn't too bad when you weigh 300 lbs and haven't ran since high school, lol. Been walking 2 miles every other night for a while and it isn't touching me anymore. I gotta bump it up.

Not bad at all. I just shaved 40 seconds off my mile. It's 14:20 now but still progress.

Keep up the good work!

When I was in high school, my fastest mile time was 4:56. I did track and cross country though. 6 years later, and I don't think I can run half a mile.

TriState flies some pretty sweet looking birds.

And I was "officially" reprimanded today for wearing a company hat while on a scene outside.

Policy changed a couple months forbidding wearing a hat..nevermind it's pretty much summer now..in south Texas..I wear glasses so sunglasses are a pain..the stupidity here is getting old..I can't wait till patients complain that we're dripping sweat on them.

I need a new employer....

A place I used to work at issued baseball hats as a uniform "accessory." However the hats were not to be worn in any facility nor in the presence of a patient or anyone else deemed important. Sigh, why bother?

Around here it's al A109E and A119's Good looking and fast birds. Hopefully when I fly someone out via rotor, I'll be calling one of them from a NM base to scene in NM.

Course only one sup of 5 is the one getting onto me. Go figure lol

If we're playing this game, I ran a 4:16 mile I'm working on getting back close to that.

This happened today. Both crew members transported to the hospital and released.

Be careful everyone.
