New MERCY AIR 6 Helicopter in town....

Post by Brian »

Looks like we got a new MERCY AIR 6 ship flying around.
Notice it tonight at Palomar Hosp. Because the front of it was GRAY in color.

Update note: Everything in this post is outdated now

N902AM Mercy Ship was sold to CALSTAR

N902AM (the one I saw MERCY AIR 6
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0245833/M/ Only 1 photo of it in the database (Minnesota, June 18, 2002)


(N411MA) MERCY AIR 5 (WHITE color front) SOLD TO CALSTAR
http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0866233/M/

* Not sure if it was ' #5 or #6' since I wasn't listening at the beginning of the transport. Just saying #5 since I saw it at Palomar Hosp. *

Anyone know anything more about this air ship ? like what happen to N411MA .....
or did we get a new MERCY AIR 6 for the south county...


Searching the web.... I notice this video of N902AM

Cool so that means we got a new "MERCY AIR 6"

Wonder what happen to the old one...and where that one went!

Going be hard to tell the different helicopters now :-(
since they both look the same! but #6 has that 2nd blue color.

Thanks for the info Mike. and nice photo link you posted.

Very nice helo. I've already transported a few patients to the new one. I love the NOTAR. It's also quieter than the old one at least I think so.

N902AM is the copter that came to the San Marcos structure fire Saturday night.
Landed on Via Vera Cruz street.

I was out of the truck so I don't know if they said MERCY AIR 6 or 5.
