St. Al's Life Flight has merged with Life Flight Network. As a part of the merger, LFN has abandoned the St. Al's Life Flight VHF repeaters on Shafer Butte and Snowbank Mountain. Instead they are now using State Comm F2 for flight following in the Boise area (F1 for patient reports), Iridium sat phones for operations out of the area, and Nextel for crew paging and ground ambulance dispatching.
