AVALON – The Atlantic Air Two Medevac Helicopter will be flying into Avalon on Monday evening, Aug. 15, at 8:00pm for a public demonstration. The helicopter will land at the Avalon Elementary School yard near 30th Street between Dune Drive and Ocean Drive. The public is invited for an up close inspection of the helicopter; the Air Two flight crew will be available to answer any questions.
The Borough of Avalon will use this aircraft to transport patients to a New Jersey trauma center, either the Atlantic Regional Medical Center or Cooper Hospital. Transportation is necessitated when a patient meets the trauma triage criteria set by the state.
In December, 2010 Atlantic Ambulance launched Atlantic Air Two, which began providing medevac service to several southern New Jersey counties, including Cape May County. Atlantic Air Two is based at the Millville Municipal Airport. Atlantic Air Two is an EC-135 Eurocopter which is quieter than most others thanks to a fan enclosed in the tail fin. During its first month of service, Air Two made more dozens of emergency and inter-facility flights. The helicopter is much like Air One, which began medevac services five years ago.
The fly-in and appearance by the Atlantic Air Two helicopter is dependent on favorable weather conditions.
