Cool

DPW:

For starters, the 407 could not be certified in Canada for EMS use because of the SE restriction for Commercial Night/IFR. This is a standard requirement for EMS in CA. Secondly, Single Engine says it ALL. You wouldn't be able to find a Medic let alone any Ministry of Health that would go for a single engine machine for a dedicated EMS ship.

WIDGEON:

The BK (VOMIT COMET) 117 is not the most popular amongst back enders! The nickname speaks for itself. In fact CHC renamed it the BarBecue 117 after there's spontainiously combusted on shut down years ago!
