Northwest MedStar recently received its newest Airbus EC135. The latest addition is the third helicopter completed and delivered by Metro Aviation in the past year, bringing the total helicopter fleet to seven for the Spokane-based program.
“Metro pays close attention to the needs of Northwest MedStar and comes up with proven ways to meet and exceed our standards,” says Northwest MedStar Director Eveline Bisson. “I can count on the work to be top quality. When a new aircraft arrives, it looks ready for a showroom floor and functions like a high-tech flying emergency room.”
Metro Aviation has provided operation services to Northwest MedStar since 1994, and has completed a total of seven aircraft for the program, including four legacy aircraft and three new helicopters. The new aircraft come as Northwest MedStar takes on significant expansion. Northwest MedStar recently assumed air medical operations in Missoula, Montana and opened a new base in north central Washington at Anderson Field Airport in Brewster.
Northwest MedStar’s new aircraft are WAAS-capable and equipped with North Flight Data Systems’ flight data recorder and Metro’s medical interior configuration. Bisson says one of her favorite features is the new paint scheme designed with the help of Metro. “The lighting in the rear to assist with night time loading is also a great addition,” she says.
