Aeromedical Transport Crashes

[SRS131EMTFF 471]

I am looking for a little information and I was wondering if anyone had the information I seek. Where I go to school in Vermont, aeromedical transport is provided by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Rescue Team (DHART) as the primary, followed by Lifenet or North Country LIFE FLIGHT. I was recently told that DHART was the only aeromedical service without a crash of any sort. I was wondering if anyone had any information on any STAT flight, Lifenet or NYS State Police aeromedical transport crashes as well as the validity of DHARTs claim? Additionally, is there anywhere where I can find out more information about aeromedical transport and its risks. I have looked at STAT flights page and Lifenets page but they did not have much information.

If they are a single aircraft/base operation, it is possible that they've never had a mishap. And it really isn't something to boast about. First of all, karma has a funny way of making people eat their words and second what will the press coverage be like if they do have an incident. Ouch.

I'd have to do some research to see if the State Police were ever involved in a crash but I know they've had "incidents" (of any sort).

AirMethods (parent company to LifeNet) is a national provider with aircraft all over the country and they have had crashes/incidents but none locally (happily).

If you really want to do research on the subject, try the FAA or NTSB websites and their reporting features.

Hope that helps.
