N709P departed Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland on September 13, 2025, ending a 17 year run of Sikorsky S76 aircraft serving Cleveland Clinic.
Our database shows a new EraMed contract in 2008 brought in three S76 Sikorsky aircraft. Two of these came from the dissolved University MedEvac program in Pennsylvania – N886AH and N911LV. Also brought in was N574EH.
Sometime in late 2011 or early 2012 a vendor change was made to PHI. At that time PHI brought in N761P, N766P, and N767P. Our database also shows N759P arriving sometime around 2016, N709P in 2017, and N798P in 2019.
Completing the transition from S76 to three MBB-BK117D2 aircraft was the arrival of N979CC on September 3rd. The fleet now consists of N971CC, N972CC, and N979CC.
Cleveland Clinic’s helicopter program started in 2006, under a contract with STAT MedEvac. In those first two years the program flew N980ME, a BK117C2.
