Eurocopter gets first EC 145 sale to the US
Eurocopter has sold its first EC 145 in the United States to the Lee County Division of Public Safety/EMS.
Lee County, which lies along the west coast of Florida, includes the city of Fort Myers and 652,000 acres of coastal area and barrier islands.
The EMS is responsible for providing advanced life support for out-of-hospital emergencies and primary health care and also responds to personnel searches, mass casualty incidents, and missing or downed aircraft reports.
They've been operating helicopters since 1978, and currently fly a B0-105. Delivery of the EC 145 to Lee County is slated for early 2004.
