| Abstract: | Our faithful Bell Helicopter 222U has begun to show its age. Although it has served us well as an air ambulance for more than 14 years, parts for this helicopter have become increasingly scarce and accordingly more expensive. Therefore, looking ahead to the day when it no longer makes economic sense to operate a BH222U, our program has invited several helicopter manufacturers to visit us and demonstrate the suitability of their aircraft for our program here in the high deserts and mountain ranges of central Oregon. |
