[edit] History

[edit] Services

Although the company has several Cessna Conquest aircraft to be put in use when a patient needs to be flown beyond helicopter range, Air Evac relies heavily on their helicopters, as most of their rescues involve landings in streets and avenues that are usually filled with electrical devices, police cars, fire apparatus, and bystanders.

They usually transport helicopter passengers to the nearest hospital and take their airplane passengers to the nearest airport, then drive the patients to a hospital.
