has anyone seen a blue peds bag...i can only imagine it was placed on a skid or the rear fin and luckily for the crew didn't fall into the tail or onto anybody. I feel for the pilot as he has little field of view while loading a patient and has to trust the crew to do a good final walk around before lift-off.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Fayetteville police are asking the public for help in finding a medical bag that fell off of a helicopter on its way to Duke Medical Center in Durham.

Sgt. John Somerindyke said Thursday the blue duffel bag contained unspecified pediatric medical supplies. It fell from the Life Flight helicopter Saturday afternoon after leaving Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville.

Somerindyke said the bag had not been secured before the helicopter left. He said several witnesses said they saw the bag fall but couldn't locate it.

Anyone who finds the bag is asked to call 911.
