I was driving home from work this afternoon and notice the above Air
Force rescue helicopter on the landing pad a Centennial Hills
Hospital. It was on the pad used by the commercial emergency
helicopters. I hate it when I see one of those helicopters land
because it is usually not "good" for the patient. I was wondering who
they dropped off? I wonder if it was a civilian or military member
that was dropped off. I saw the helicopter leave and fly in a direct
line towards Creech Air Force Base. It could have gone to any location
on the range near Creech AFB or the Nevada Test Site. This made me
think about where somebody is taken with severe injuries on the Nellis
Range, Creech AFB, Nevada Test Site or even Area 51. I figured most
would go to Nellis, but I am not sure what level trauma they have
there. I would have thought that if somebody was going to airlifted to
a hospital in Las Vegas they would have gone to UMC. I know UMC is the
highest level trauma center in Nevada (I believe). Centennial Hills is
definitely the closest hospital by air from the west side of the
Nellis Range. Any thoughts about who might have been airlifted this
afternoon and where would the seriously injured on the Nellis Range,
Creech, or Area 51 be taken? Sorry for the quality of the photo. It
was taken out of my car window in traffic. It definitely said Rescue
and Air Force on the tail.
