Medevac Helicopter


Recommended Posts

You are right, not a very exciting colour scheme........................................but a very very cool helicopter!!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to snap them and upload them.

The interesting thing is how some of the subtle lines really show up on a scheme like this. Notice the pointy/raised contour around the nose centreline. This runs from the windscreen vertically down around the nose to about the forward skid attach line (does that make sense???). You can also see the ribbed type lines on the vert stabs (or end plates as the engineers call them).

Interesting to see, thanks very much!

Cheers

Anthony

Nice photos of the Brisbane chopper.

The choppers are BK-117's by Eurocopter. Originally developed by MBB of Germany and Kawasaki of Japan. MBB was bought by Daimler Benz and then became part of Eurocopter.

I've seen this bird flying around quite a bit lately... saw it go over about an hour ago as well!

N117M used to belong to Med Flight of Ohio. Clearly being used as an Omni Flight Helicopters backup ship. I beleive Med Flight is using one BK-117 now (#5). The remaining fleet are EC-135s and a couple 350 Astars.

Here's a model I did as Med Flight #5

N117MH is the old Methodist Hospitals Life Line BK from Indianaplois, IN. Sweet paint job!

UC, ew... I should have taken pics of the Miami Valley Hospitals' medflight. They flew the SA365N's so you could always hear the high pitched whine of the fenestron. There were a few times EC-145s would fly to the hospital, too.

Take care,

Austin
