ates the air emergency service
In a statement issued by the
corporation's board of directors,
the background of the project
was given, and reasons for the
new proposal. The statement fol
lows: We, the people of Jackson
county, can be proud of having
created a service unlike any oth
er in existence the non-profit,
Mercy Flights Air Ambulance
service.
This recognition is not con
fined to our own county, but has
been publicized in many news
papers and trade journals
throughout the western states.
In addition, through the serv
ices which it has rendered in its
short life of three months, Mer
cy Flights has gained recogni
tion by the United States air
force.
Air Fore Praises
In a recent coast-wide radio
program produced by the air
force, the organization was
praised as being the answer to
one of the primary needs of com
munities in remote sections of
the country. This the air force
can readily appreciate, as it has
men working 24 hours a day in
the air evacuation branch, des
perately trying to meet all of the
requests for emergency air trans
portation of sick and injured
persons in "out of the way" com
munities. Obviously, if it were possible
and practical, the best solution
wauui to vcr t'na a r rcrco tt
station an ambulance aircraft at
every available airport in th re
mote sections of our country.
However, inasmuch as this is not
the primary function of the air
force, and cannot be done (or
maintained in time of war), our
interests can best be served by
making it a community project
as we have done here.
Two Flights Made
Our aircraft, a twin engine
Cessna appropriately named
"Rogue Wings o' Mercy," was
Dlaced in service in January and
has since made two emergency
flights to Portland. One of the
patients was a Medford woman,
while the other was a man from
North Bend. (Although it is not
the intent to handle cases orig
inating outside Jackson county,
no other aircraft could be found
anywhere in the state.)
In addition, the Mercy Flights
organization has arranged for
two other evacuations (both chil
dren) by air force aircraft one
before our own aircraft was

while maintenance was being
performed. In this respect, be
cause of recognition by the air
force for the job we are trying
to do, they will consider anv re-
quest from Mercy Flights suffi
cient, in lieu of the usually re
quired telephone clearance from
wasmneton. u. (J. Thus, the onlv
delay will be in flying the air
craft to Medford.
Pilota' Recommendation
When the Mercy Flights or-
eanization was first conceived,
it was our belief that the twin
engine Cessna type aircraft was
the most suitable and economical
for the job we would have to
do. After actually "putting the
ship to work," we still believe
it is (especially since the next
larger sized aircraft would cost
$15,000 or more, and we have
only $3,200 invested in this one).
However, in the interests of
safety and dependability, our pi
lots have recommended that a
change be made in our present
aircraft. Their suggestion is that
the present 245 ri. P. Jacobs en
gines be replaced with 300 H. P.
Lycomings. They feel that the
higher horsepower will give a
better safety factor for operation
at night and in bad weather. As
this recommended engine change
may some day be a factor in
saving a life, we consider it a
must item. However, it will nec
essarily be the response of the
Jackson county residents which
will be the deciding factor.
Hound the ciock
There is only one company on
the coast which handles the Ly
coming conversion, and their
usual price for the job is $1,685,
which includes two completely
rebuilt engines. However,
through a special arrangement
with this company, and also due
to the fact that our own mechan
ics will make the conversion .the
total cost will onlv be $1,200.
For this additional amount, the
aircraft can be flown with the
highest possible safety factor.
day or night, or in any weather
except where icing is present.
Actually, this is tne only way
that the organization can serve
to the fullest extent of its capa
bilities. Of the four cases we
have handled, three have arisen
at night. You be the judge, and
let us serve you around the
clock.
Remember, your ambulance
plane stands ready to serve you
todav. There has never Been a
better one available to the people
of our county, but let's make it
the best.
