UCAN (University of Chicago Aeromedical Network) is based out of University of Chicago medical center. They're an elite crew of a Doctor and Nurse. Thy do very few scene flights... more interfacility and operate one of the nicest birds... the Aerospatiale Dauphine. They also have a back up bird which is an Aerospatiale TwinStar. Their aircraft is serviced through Heli-Net chicago which also services the WGN9 Helicopter.
superiors program is a joke, only real programs are FFL, lifestar ( airmethods now) and ucan, react and OSF life flight in outlying area of chi town. Air angels is now react - same program new paint job. and medex does not own there own chopper
ucan, flight for life, OSF, react, Lifestar, WGN news chopper, chicago tours helicopter, chicago fire department, something out of state, air angels ( even though they're outa business i would wait for them to re-organize buy a new helicopter and then call them...), and then if all others were un available... i would take patient myself to hospital.
how is UCAN a real program??? Their helicopter sounds like horse crap. Just becuase ucan sucks dosnt mean you have to bust on Superior to feel better.
i was talking about programs not birds... big difference... but since you want to how can u really compare a dolphine to a eurocptor 135? new does not always mean better...
@emtfire62 MedEx doesn't have a chopper...yet

Air Angels was not owned by REACT.. they were owned by REACH aero-medical out of California.
Air Angels went out of business... I used to work for them.
Are you kidding me... Superior Flight has an excellent flight program!
BTW Mr. Know-it-all... it's OSF Lifeline, which is based out of St. Anthony Hospital.
