They orignally were planning on sending the H145's they had down to Airbus to get the conversion done from 4 to 5 blades so maybe they have decided on a fleet upgrade instead.  They currently have (4) H145's (BK117 D2) and (1) EC145 (BK117C2).  Thats operated over 4 bases so they have 1 spare.  Their plan was to purchase 2 more (D3's) and upgrade their D2's to D3's for a total of 6 aircraft.  Still keeping 4 bases, so 1 is a spare for mx as 1 is always down and 1 extra so they can do training since they never have a spare aircraft for that.  Maybe the article is in error as I dont believe they are order 6 brand new D3's.  They have one currently being built that shows up April 2023 and another one after that.

The foundation backing BMF is very wealthy. Major metropolitan area with numerous fortune 500 companies in the backyard looking for tax breaks. It's a textbook business model for a non profit.

And yet they can't keep staff because of morale. Maybe give a decent pay raise. Idiots

There's plenty of places with a much better cost of living. The only reason I would work there is if my better half made a ton of money or we had a family connection. The traffic alone isn't worth 250k base.
