LifeEvac 12

Tonight at about 7:30 pm a helicopter called VCU on 462.950 ctcs 192.8 and ID'd as Life Evac 12 requesting permission to land on the rooftop.
Anyone know the home base for this helicopter.

LifeGuard 12 is a Carilion helicopter based out of Lexington, VA. There's no LifeEvac 12 that I'm aware of, only LifeEvac 1, 3, and 4.

I distinctly heard Life Evac 12 two or three times, I am familiar with Life Guard and that is not what I heard. That is what puzzled me.

I checked with a well-informed flight medic I know. None of the Virginia-based LifeEvac's go as high as 12. Only "12" in VA is LifeGuard (as mentioned previously). He did indicate that some of the KY and TN bases have higher numbers, so it could be an aircraft from out-of-state.

N135LX is LifeGuard12 and that's what landed at VCU.
