it was a weird day (and night).
I was flying on the UW MedFlight Augusta 109 late Saturday night, early
Sunday am this weekend and on a flight to Mauston, and then later to
Viroqua, we were showing only 95-100 knots heading to the NW from
Madison.
On the way back, with a patient on board, we were doing about 205
knots! Which was a blessing with a sick patient on board, keeps the
time to a minimum.
The shear factor wasn't as big of a deal overnight, which is also a
blessing because the approach to the UW helipad is like flying into a
canyon. And now we have a crane on top of the hospital to worry
about...
