Yes, N9NJ is also a Sikorsky S76. I forgot about that one in the line-up. The sikorsky's are their medevacs, the Bells' are for "other" NJSP jobs- executive transports, surveilance, anything else that that want.

the landing gears are on hydrolics so its like a kneeling bus in a way

[zdonut316]

"usmarines911" is partiall correct. The NJSP has 5 Sikorsky S76-B's in their fleet N8NJ, and N9NJ are not for medevac transport. 3 are configured for medevac transport (the one above) "NorthSTAR and SouthSTAR" N1NJ, N5NJ, N7NJ. The landing gear on the S76 choppers are all the same whether for medevac or regular transportation. The NJSP also has Bell 206 Long Rangers N2NJ, N3NJ, N4NJ in their fleet for anything else BUT medevac transport.

actually i have seen N9NJ do a medivac in cape may for someone who had been hit on a bicycle

[FireSarge30]

You are correct. N9NJ is used as such.

[FireSarge30]

N9NJ IS setup for Medevac.  Otherwise, a good synopsis.

[airsoftboy1313]

man that thing has short landing gears

[usmarines911]

well it a medivac chopper it make it easier to load the stecher

[airsoftboy1313]

well my county also has a police/medevac heli, but its a bell 407 with regular skids it does everything from night long lining to searching for criminals and little children

[usmarines911]

this helo can do that to but the njsp has 3 choppers this one is really more of medivac i know ive worked with it

[airsoftboy1313]

o we only have one that does medevac so to me the gears seem short
