Well, on the two week anniversary of the crsh here is the TR documenting the return. I hope this fufills everybodies curiosity about flying on a medivac Lear Jet so none of you ever has to repeat it.
There are many photos, so bear with me.
The journey begins with meetinng the Canadian flight nurses. Dave has concluded that in genral Canadian nurses are 50-80 lbs better looking than most US nurses.
The entourage.
Tom helps save Dave's life inthe ER. Thanks Tom.
Da plane boss, da plane.
In you go!!
Hold tight!!
I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. (never Colorado is hell on his kidneys)
Every seat has a window and an isle.
Our plane looked like this one... but ours was moving at the time.
down the runway!!!
Interior shot.
Good bye Grand Junction.
Going home makes us very happy.
Airline food a la Denny's. Somehow I'm not sure "regular diet" from the hospital's point of view included a club sandwich and oinion rings, BUT:
Dave's first BACON!!!!!
Random pretty snow covered mountains, probably southern WYG.
The Tetons. The piolet could see JH ski runs, but the glare from the sun was intense.
Piolet's eye view.
I'm to sexy for my Lear.
Pretty sunset, probably over Castle.
Most leg room I've had on a flight.
Yeah!! The Saddledome (or whatever they are calling it these days) and OUR mountains on the horizon.
Where's my ambulance. We sat on the tarmac for 1 3/4 hours until Calgary Health Region managed to free up a transfer vehicle. Yeah socialized medicine. (not)
Well, Thats all I wrote fer now. I can't concentrate cuz Dave is using his packing tape gun to box up skies. I think mntlion is getting better and slowly getting back into business. (and he's really board, walking around the block isn't that exciting in spite of how exhausiting it is.)
Thanks for all the support gang and we'll see a bunch of you at Freshtivale at the MSP show.

Nice captions! I'm so relieved that all this is winding down uneventfully.
It's idomatic, beatch.

Cool TR, and also glad to hear that things are slowly returning to normal.
Next time you guys go for a ride in a Lear Jet, let's hope it's because you bought the winning 649 lottery ticket and are taking us all skiing somewhere.

Great to hear all seems to be on the mend!
Thanks for the stylin' TR there skibee. Even though it looks like an ambulance has more room inside... I thinks this is deinately the way to go.
Sorry the trip here wasn't very good, but you know the ol' saying... Originally Posted by skibee

And that nurse is trying to act like she doesn't notice...
He's dreaming about next year's round of CMH Explosives.

Do you think the insurance companies will pay for happy endings when he needs massages??
I had better check out his billing before he submits it.

She's dreaming of the explosiv's he sold her.
That thing is tiny (the jet) must take some manoeuvering to angle the stretcher in.It's not so much the model year, it's the high mileage or meterage to keep the youth of Canada happy
