PennSTAR #6?

[ctrabs74]

Around 15:00 today, heard PennSTAR #6 take a flight from East Whiteland, Chester County following an MVA. I know that PS#2 is the primary bird based at West Chester, and I knew there was a PS#5 operating out of either Schuylkill or Carbon County (I think it's Lehighton, but I can't recall off the top of my head). Anyone else know about PS#6? Is that going to be the new bird assigned to West Chester? And if that's the case, then where will PS#2 be assigned?

Last I heard, PennSTAR 6 is based out of Wings Field with PennSTAR 1.

PennSTAR replaces University Medevac on Temple's transfer team contract. So, no more Medevac 8 for now. I don't know what the permanent home for PennSTAR 6 will be, but I'm listing it as Wings for now since that is the only info I got passed along to me.

The chess games continue. Where to move helicopters to get the most flights....I mean provide the most efficient services.

At one time, I thought SkyCare was going to put a 2nd bird in service full time and base it out of Crozer, but that was just a wild rumor (don't see how they would've pulled of housing a bird there). Then again, at some point, if PS#6 is going to be in dedicated service for Temple, I wouldn't be shocked if it would end up being based in NE Philadelphia somewhere.
