#aw109 #agusta #helicoptercrash #hems In this episode, I will tell the full story of the TriState CareFlight medical helicopter crash that took place on July 17, 2014, just outside of Newkirk, New Mexico, U.S.A., in a Leonardo AW109E with tail number N507CF. This story goes down the terrible rabbit hole of helicopter shopping - a practice utilized by far too many helicopter EMS agencies in the past and, unfortunately, still in use today by a select few programs.
