Hoping that the crew is alright. The guys from SW Medevac are top notch and I'm friends with several of the fixed crews from that base.

Oh crud! Not another one. Keep us updated. Really hope nobody is injured.

ditto

It's not showing up on Flightweb yet... So, here's to hoping they don't have to black out the site...

Word from the SW base is that there were casualties... Nothing else though

Crew was killed. 1 medic, 1 pilot, 1 nurse. RIP. I'm still waiting for more info to come in

Thanks for the link. I was trying to find more info on it other than word of mouth.

Out of respect for the Fallen, Flightweb has, once again, blacked out their site.

May they now fly with Angels.

Very sad.

My thoughts are with them.

Flight crews truly risk their lives "so others may live".

I read the condolence book on flightweb, the outpouring from family and friends reflects the caliber of people lost. This is a sad, sad tragedy.

Rest in peace.

The helo went down just miles from my house. They had just called Final Approach.

Three good men lost. Here in Las Cruces, we have a very strong EMS community. John Sutter was a plank-owner. He leaves behind an 8-month pregnant wife. He was the kind of man, and paramedic, that we all aspire to be.


We are diminished.
