The wonderful work of our emergency services.
Coming in to land here. These are the heroes of our skies and our nation has learned to depend on them.
We live in a big country and not only accident victims, but also urgent hospital patients are referred and transferred by the helicopters.
They deserve recognition and my nickname for them is "Angels with wings". Even in risky conditions they do not hesitate to to lend a wing and many urgent cases have benefitted from their professional medical services.
Expert units were ready and waiting for the patient transfer from the chopper.
It was cold and the weather was darkening as a signal that more rain was coming.
The transfer was done and the crews were preparing for taking off again.
All done and here we had the lift off.
Higher and higher the chopper climbed into the sky.
Then it was the final farewell and the chopper disappeared into the darkening late afternoon clouds.
Some snow was still sticking around on the mountain peaks and it just goes to show that these valiant medical crews work in all weather conditions.
This service is so essential here, as there are many isolated rural towns and farms in the wild blue yonder. Most do not have the modern facilities that the big towns and the cities have and that's why these medical angels are so essential.
I remember that after my bike accident, I was transferred between 3 hospitals by ambulance in order to get me the best treatment for my shattered left leg. And that was in a city, so in the far off rural areas, a medical helicopter like this is a Godsend.
All hail to these heros.
And That's All Friends!
