The good ole, Vanbulance.

That van is still "full size" but what I'm referring to is an ambulance built off of one of these:

So something like this and yes both of those vehicles are Ambulances

Those would certainly fit my description of a cozy little ambulance!

I know this thread is a little old, and I know it's not the main topic of it, however enclosed rotors on helicopters were mentioned several times. In my area we are seeing more and more of the enclosed rotors. Even the picture Mercy Air used for their calender is of one.

The EC135 appears to have become a very popular aircraft in areas where high altitudes and densities are not as much of a factor. They're sweet looking aircraft too...

I love the 135s... shame I'll never see them where I work lol. But I like the A109 and 119s too

National Guard (on a national basis) will be getting EC-145-based UH-72 ("Lakotas") for SAR, medivac, light utility, etc. (EC-135 and EC-145 are pretty similar).

I've seen a few out here in Colorado. The EC145 doesn't have the shrouded tail rotor. Hears to hoping that hoist capable military aircraft make a return to our area on a more consistent basis. We had a hoist equipped Blackhawk out a few weeks ago for a semi-wilderness call. Twas awesome.

Isn't the EC145 just the 21st century BK117?

Yep. In fact in some parts of the world, it's sold as the bk117

You could say that, but the EC is a completely different airframe than the BK.

Like a 2015 F-150 vs. a 1990 F-150.

So you mean it's got more plastic, less metal, costs more to fix, and will only run for half the overall time?

Pretty much

The 145 is just an update of the BK-117 (to the point the type certificate still list it as a variant of the 117)
