Michigan Survival Flight Helicopter

As I was heading out of work today, I heard the sound of a helicopter off in the distance. Fortunately, it was far enough away that I had a chance to put the big lens on the camera to get a picture. Turns out it was one of the helicopters from the University of Michigan Hospital's Survival Flight.

Survival Flight uses 3 Bell 340 Helicopters for rapid transport of emergency patients within a 200 mile radius of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It also has access to a couple fixed wing aircraft for further distances. The pilots are IFR rated so that they can fly in inclement weather (because you know, we never have that in Michigan). It has been in service for over 20 years.

The helicopter as it was passing right over.

And it flies on.
