Mercy Air helicopter takes off from Antelope Valley Hospital, Lancaster, CA, approximately 1300PT 11/3/2007 after dropping off a patient for its ER. This video shows the helicopter ramping up and taking off to the north (along with an annoying white SUV that crosses the frame twice). I can confirm this Bell 222 (tail N402MA) is the same one I've seen based at the Mojave Spaceport (Mercy Base 14). Mercy Air units typically carry a flight crew of three: pilot, flight nurse and flight medic. In this video, the pilot is in the right front seat, medical crew is in the other front seat and you can see the third crewmember in the back window looking at me suspiciously.

    Its a soap they put on the blades to keep them smooth and reduce friction. It's really expensive.

    ya, i know, i've been in rotor wash (luckily with helmet and visor down, but still). they need better security to prevent such matters. Thanks for your comment!

  • That is Mercy Air ...

    That is Mercy Air 14 out of Mojave. It could have been my husband flying...I'd have to look at the work calendar. He does fly into AV often (and he also thinks the SUV is annoying. If you get too close, a windshield could break...or you get some nice pits in the paint. If the blades are rotating enough to get airlift, they are generating enough wind to pit a car that gets too close. People need to have more caution).
