A medical helicopter crashed in Arizona, killing two crew members, the copter's owner said.
This happened just east of where i live, in the mountain range that’s practically my backyard.
The medical copter that went down was Native Air 5. While i don’t know the particular crew who was on shift at the time, one of the nurses who flies on this helicopter is also a nurse in my emergency room, the husband of one of my best friends. There was not a patient on board at the time of the crash.
It’s heartbreaking any time this happens. Thoughts, prayers, good vibes, anything you can give to the friends and family is much appreciated.
