OK, so I've been wanting to get a shot of one of the medical helicopters in action for a long time but could never be at the right place at the right time. Yesterday, when I was leaving home for an errand, I saw one headed to North Central Baptist Hosp. I raced to get there, knowing there was a spot for taking the shot on the roof of their parking garage. It overlooks the landing pad. By the time I got there, the rotors had been shut down so I did not get them rotating as I had hoped, but did get in place before they offloaded the patient. This photo shows her strapped onto the gurney just before being wheeled into the ER. The crew followed her in, so I figured they would not be taking off soon, so I left.
This is a tough shot. Talk about being in the right place in the right time. How far was the shot?
ReplyDeleteSpinning rotor would be a sweet effect...maybe next time. They do run drills every so often, I wonder if they would tell you when the next one is.
