Medivac S-76 Landing

After responding to an emergency call, the Northstar Medivac (operated by the NJ State Police) came back to Somerset Airport, topped off the tanks and taxied to park. On call 24/7, this is the helicopter you'd want to see if your life was on the line.

@peterawsome

No sir

I work for a Israeli company that is called MDA/ we are the only civilian service here

@MrGwittles do you work for calstar? because i know they use at least 4 bo-105s

[MrGwittles]

I work medivac on a bo-105. great versatile heli with little down time but also a little problematic for taking 2 patients on a hot day and a little small (up and down side to that).

AW 139 put the sikorsky to rest, and its guna happen agin with the AW 169

Anyone worth a hoot knows the Sikorsky S-76 is one of the best helicopters for civilian medivac use on the market.  The S-76 is roomy and stable in flight, with the electronics to match. When called upon these brave men and women risk their lives for the sake of others without hesitation.

Thank you to all those who give of themselves in the life-saving work, especially those who fly in the helicopters of the Medivac work.

@mattec2 mmm, maybe... bell 412 can hold two passenges at once, but i think the best is the bo-105 it can hold two paitents plus 4 crew including pilot and is extremly versitle

[mattec2]

S-76 best medivac helicopter ever made?

[malldome]

@ALCAZ14 no doubt about that! They've got a great medical staff on board and excellent pilots, when you set them up for a landing it's simple, they come, land, load patient, and go, simple and fast. If we're calling for Northstar it's a serious reason, and they know how to ensure you get the best care.
