And Survival Flight keeps expanding... 
I also feel like a chump for recently renewing my Air Evac membership for three years.
Wonder if you can get a refund?
How many flights a month does those bases make? I know my area is very busy.

Seeing that comment I done a lil' searching and I see Survival Flight now has an ambulance base with 4 units covering Heber Springs and the surrounding area. I read that NorthStar has 17 units, but I think they were split between Cleburne, White & Faulkner Co. I had thought Vital Link had Cleburne Co., but apparently not.
Heber Springs City Council votes to switch ambulance services

Yeah they started a ground service and continue to add air bases as well. The HQ, maintenance and training center for the air service is at Batesville.

I'm wondering what frequencies they'll operate on.
Maybe a ride to Heber tomorrow is in order while the old lady is at work.....a lil' Close Call detective work.

Air uses a leased tower in Batesville on 461.500. I heard one of the ambulances talking to one of the helos on it last week. Nothing official, just a “how’s it going today?” thing.
So on this SMR currently? WNNA730 (Wilkes, Barry E) FCC Callsign Details
Yes. It’s listed in the db on here already, too.
