Mountain LifeFlight resumes fixed-wing operation

Lassen County News Headline

Dec. 15, 2009 — Mountain LifeFlight has resumed operation for hospital-to-hospital transfers with their fixed wing aircraft.

The fixed-wing airplane is used for transfers between facilities via nearby airports. Mountain Lifeflight has offered fixed-wing airplane service to Lassen County since 1993.

The management of Mountain Lifeflight is meeting with city officials this week for approval on the plans started earlier this year for a new hangar building at Susanville Municipal Airport. The new facility will include room for up to three aircraft and provide offices, training rooms and crew living areas. Plans to break ground on the building project are set for March 2010.

Mountain Lifeflight is in the process of purchasing a AS350 B3 Helicopter that is expected to be in service in Lassen County by mid-to-late January.
