Life Flight

I was visiting my former sister-in-law in the hospital yesterday. Her room was on the 11th floor and right across from the helicopter landing deck. This emergency flight came in while I was there and I was able to take some shots through the window. It was interesting to see all the medical personnel, who had been on deck waiting for the landing, spring into action.

(Bev ~ if you see this on fB, I hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the photo opp. heh)
I hope she is feeling better soon. You timed your visit well to capture all this drama eleven storeys up. Nice catch!

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
@Cath, Kelly ~ I was so glad to have my camera with me. :)
@Laura ~ Thanks so much for the fav! Sister-in-law is doing well. After surgery she had a one night stay at the hospital and is now home recuperating.
@Ann ~ that's probably what your arrival looked like.

Very cool! Speedy recovery to your Sister-in-law!

Glad your sister-in-law is okay. This is scary--hope nobody I know never needs one of these and that person is okay!

Good to know you were sitting attentively at her bedside!!! ;0) Love the pic - really clear & I did love ER - though 'that' helicopter scene was a bit traumatic!

Great capture, Peggy. Reminds me of the time my tiny grandson was flown in one of these to a far away hospital for emergency surgery. They do a wonderful job.

That is a beautiful helicopter. I've been fortunate enough not to ever need one.

Super action shot Peggy, love this! ;-)

Nice to be able to catch this action. I hope I never need one of these rides! Well done.

Great shot. I love aviation photos. This is a good one. A speedy recovery to your former sister in-law.

@girlie
And it's a wonderful thing that this service is available for critical patients. Such a relief for you at the time, I'm sure, to know that little Alex was in very good hands.

Very cool shot, Peggy!

Oh wow, perfect timing!

Great shot, you were definitely in the right place at the right time, I hope it turned out well for the person who was ill.

Peggy, you are a true addict. I hope your former sister-in-law is getting better. What a fabulous action shot!! It is a rare opportunity that you get to take a picture like that, and it turned out great!
