Grays/Torreys Heli-Rescue

Post by pdenman33 »

I was camping by Chihuahua Lake on Monday and saw the care flight come from Summit Co up and over Grays at about 8:00pm, then return about 45min later. Everybody OK? Stay safe out there people.

transfer from the hospital in frisco?
would be on flight path
What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - That's all I need the ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair and I don't need one other thing, except my dog.
[Shithead growls at him]
I don't need my dog.

Likely this. In addition, I believe either Airlife or Flight for Life actually has a helicopter that they keep in Frisco full time.

I have a few RN friends who work for Air Life and Flight for Life. It sounds like this is a fairly normal flight path for them, so likely just a patient transfer and not a rescue.
