“STAT MedEvac-8, STAT Page: Lake West Hospital, destination UHC…”

Maybe sharing the story with others helps me.
Maybe it inspires others to help those who need it the most.
Honestly, I wish that night never happened.

17 years ago.
Back when we launched from Burke…
Back when STAT8 was the highest number…
Back when we were the FNGs…
Back when I had hair…

Keep a watch on all of us Bill and Kelly.
16 years have passed since that terrible morning that N626MB went down.
We lost Flight Nurse Kelly Conti and Pilot Bill Spence.

I bet they are still keeping a watchful eye on all of us.

15 years ago. Things were a bit different.

626MB departing with Lead Pilot Joe Mag
Hey Kelly, did you know, I’m still being called “Kaito”?

Kelly and Kaito
While some of our uniforms or missions or jobs have changed, we will never forget.
Glad to have you around Joe P.
Miss you Bill and Kel.
Dear 117KC & 118WS – please keep an eye on all of us.

MedEvac-8 (626MB) at UHC in 2002
I wish you two were still around.
Thinking of all my old flight crews today.

After a lukewarm week, what made me smile again? This.

Kaito and Whooba
Seeing my former flight team smiling on a great day in Ohio.

University MedEvac-2 (Medina)
Yes, I knew these two jokersters when they first started with the flight program.

Left to right: Kilo-Charlie (117KC) and Whiskey-Sierra (118WS) with Mike-Bravo (626MB) on the fins. If you know the meaning behind these tail numbers, you know what it means to me.
Yups, back in the original EC-135 and BK days.

Lead Pilot Campos, Base Supervisor Celebrezze, and Kaito
So glad to see they now are leading their respective teams as Lead Pilot and Base Supervisor. Ahhh, great memories. Outstanding flight crews. Transition approved!
