I did 8 years in Aeromed in the early years. I still have good memories of it, it's probably the only job I had where I felt truly needed and appreciated. Landing on the Highway was fun and flare paths using the old kero pot flares, don't suppose they do any of that these days. No GPS back then and not all our aircraft had VLF Omega. You learn what weather flying is. I understand now when other pilots look at me funny when I talk about how to negotiate thunderstorm cells, both cold stream and tropical.
