TCA-not just an airline!

We also provide emergency medical services in Alaska

Called out to a mine accident from the base at Hope (5HO)


We were quickly enroute with only a 10 minute flying time to reach the mine




Ready to receive the casualty


Then a quick departure to transfer the casualty to hospital in Anchorage


Approaching the rooftop helipad




Then a quick trip to refuel




All in a days work for Alaska Airmed, operated by Tradewind Alaska!

Hey Steve,

Very nice pictures and a very nice helicopter. Nice that you flew for Tradewind Alaska - maybe you should contact Sandy aka. Snowboss

Steve,
Great shots! If we still had the Island Breezes this could have been an interesting feature story! I always enjoy your photos, they are 1st class.

Actually I can answer the question about the Island Breezes. I was the editor for over a year, was fortunate enough to be granted interviews with some interesting folks, had a couple of great feature writers, but my time got to be at a premium since my working schedule changed and there wasn't anyone else to help with the project.

I still remember the Breezes fondly, I appreciate the archived editions. Do you think there is any interest>
