For other Air Methods pilots, any word if Air Methods will be basing a helicopter in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania? With the upcoming take over by Wellspan Health of the Lewisburg Hospital, I'm figuring Wellspan will add a 3rd Air Methods aircraft to their contract. Lewisburg is a very nice place to live, relative low cost of living, 30 minutes to Penn State. Would be a sweet gig, as long as they go with a 135 and not a 130.

Not sure about your math either. Town is expensive. Drive to PSU is over an hour. If Pennsylvania closed 50% of its air ambulance bases, they'd still have too many helicopters.

20+ aircraft?

you're correct & it's just not the town that's exspensive either,in top 3 of highest gas taxes in lower 48, roads suck, taxes high, auto insurance high, BS State emission for ALL newer vehicles$$ I just  sent my DL renewal in for a car & motorcycle endorsement for 5 yrs. $63.50! OP must be either a wacker or AMC employee, Sweet gig!!

Geisinger will wake up soon enough and wonder why the health system is supporting their HAA program when the privates will do it for them, at no cost.
