    This time it was not my buddy's wife - aka my wife's BFF from high school.

    Thoughts and prayers to the vic, even if he/she was on an e-bike. Well, maybe...

    Do we have positive reports of an airlift, or just heavy helicopter activity? A county helo has been training extensively over by dump hill recently.

    Yeah, they don't usually hover over Cactus/Yucca/Bumblebee.

    My wife was at the barn at the bottom of the dam....she can hear/see when these go down.

    I read a bit ago that they have an agreement, I think they just agreed to race to the calls.

    Actually it's because there is a rather large St Jude hospital with a 24 hr emergency room adjacent to the trail. :whistling:

    When copters hover, its possibly due to not having a safe landing area. Thats what they had to do in my rescue.
