Imabell, I know you love Bells and all, but you must admit that a LongRanger just isn't suited for this kind of work -as this incident illustrates. I mean, how heavy can a 71 year old guy be? And in the wintertime? And still run out of power? What kind of EMS helicopter is that?
By the way I think it's a little harsh to state that the helicopter crash killed the patient. No need to saddle the pilot with that, too.
