MedFlight 8

[cann1995]

MedFlight 8 is now on line at Harry Clever Field in New Philadelphia. They are using N460H for now until their EC-135 comes in which should be by the middle of August. The new aircraft will N135NP.

Does anyone have a current list of the tail numbers for all of the MedFlight Helos?

I don't think N117MK is being used by MedFlight 1 any more unless they got it fixed after it's mishap a few years back.

For those of us keeping track at home...

MF1: N117MK
MF2: N135AN
MF3: N149AE
MF4: N135CH
MF5: N527MB
MF6: N350MV
MF7: N204HN
MF8: See above

The "old" MedFlight 1 (N117MK) was put back in service several months ago as an IFR bird. I think it was OOS for about a year while they used one of their older VFR ships to replace it. From what I heard, it is pretty much brand new (paint, avionics, etc) and a proud and regular fixture in the sky around Franklin county.

All are correct EXCEPT MF3 - that is N135WL. N149AE was the temporary tail number until WL was assigned.

Is MedFlight 5 going to keep thier BK117? Or, will they get an EC135/145?

Thanks for the correction on MF3...my 2007 calendar is already out of date!

There are no plans for MF5 to get a new aircraft. MF8 will have an EC-135 as their aircraft within the next few weeks. It will be N135NP
