Anyone going to Heli-Expo in Houston next week? If so, stop by and see me at the MetaMAP booth (#4917) and we'll tell some CAP stories!
While you are there find the Bell Helicopter booth. The new 429 is there. It will be assigned to the hospital i do my Paramedic Clinicals through. MercyOne is the name on the Helicopter.
OOOOOO....the 429. I need to find a way to justify the Sheriff to need one of those.
The hospital I work for flies the Eurocopter 145. That is a joy ride as well. This summer I get to sign up for ride along programs.

That figures -- I live an hour from Houston but I'm going to be TDY to San Antonio for the next two weeks.
^If Im not mistaken, HAI isnt somthing you just go tour like an airshow. I think its about $100 to get in. I was all set up to go but with the budget issues everyone is facing, my trip got canceled.
Prices are here:

$105. Not to far off for a one day pass.
Believe me...it is 100% a closed door deal. This is a place where multi million dollar contracts are made and sought. Not designed for the looky-loos.
