🎄✨ Christmas Eve over New England felt extra special tonight.

From Life Flight 1, we swear we caught a glimpse of Santa and his reindeer making their way across the night sky (check out the upper left corner!)🛷🦌
A little reminder that even on the busiest of nights, there’s still magic up there.

Wishing you all a peaceful & safe Christmas Eve. ❤️🚁✨

This week new and old (seasoned) Life Flight crew got to train in Groton, CT at Survival Systems. ASET (Aviation Survival & Egress Training) is an 8 hour day of classroom and in water training with the focus being on post aircraft ditching in an emergency situation and survival skills. This training includes: live cabin smoke & fire control using a fire extinguisher; full disorientation underwater escape METS (Modular Egress Training Simulator); surface water survival and hypothermia mitigation; search and rescue devices and procedures. All Life Flight crew complete this training upon hire and have the opportunity to return every 2 years, if desired (or a bit crazy 🤪). The staff and facilities are top notch, it’s a phenomenal program despite feeling like you were just in the world largest Neti Pot.

National Aviation Day was celebrated earlier this week, on August 19th. This US observation day celebrates the development of aviation, in thanks to Orville Wright. With the discovery of flight, we were able to be the first air medical program in New England back in 1982.

Today, with our partner, Air Methods, we operate two Airbus helicopters. Life Flight 1 is an EC145 and Life Flight 2 is an EC135. 🚁

Check them out below on some recent scene calls! ⬇️
