TUIT REPORT
The Tuit is apparently still vacationing with Scott Saylor on the Mexican Riviera.
After this much time, the Tuit should be appropriately bronzed.
PROGRAM:
Randy Henderson introduced the members of the Midwest Life Team Helicopter Crew, Clay Cox and Jason Brewer. Clay is a flight paramedic with 7 years of experience. Jason is a pilot with extensive military and civil flight history. The helicopter service is based in Hutchinson and operates primarily within a 100-mile radius. Emergency medical services are provided quickly due to the 5 minute lift-off time and the 120 M.P.H. capabilities of the aircraft. Patients are delivered to the closest appropriate facility. Flights occur 24/7 and in all weather except for freezing rain, lightning and hail. To assist with nighttime flights, landing lights have been deployed with EMS units throughout Reno County.
Sheriff Henderson wishes to add his thanks to the Midwest Life Team for their assistance to law enforcement at no charge. Which is no small matter since a helicopter base is a 1.5 million dollar investment!
