We just approved $85K to build a class V non-transport ambulance "flight truck". This will let us staff our 2 911 trucks with staff and junior medics (typically 6 years or less of experience) and the Class V will be given to the senior medic to proceed to the calls as necessary for oversight and training. Without a flight truck we currently staff the senior medic on one ambulance and the junior members on the other so if there is a questionable call both trucks have to be commited to the scene.
Anyway, we're leaning toward something like a Chevy Tahoe. It will carry the full gamut of BLS/ALS gear minus a stretcher. This includes full drug storage. I'm looking for the Massachusetts CFR that covers what *must* be done, but I'd like to know what else you would like to have on a flight truck.
