From the Penn State Health Facebook Page:
After more than two decades of lifesaving service, Penn State Health Life Lion’s Critical Care Transport helicopter, N600LL, took its final flight on Thursday, Aug. 7. Since its first mission on May 14, 2001, this incredible aircraft has transported more than 9,000 patients over 8,222 flight hours — carrying hope and care when it mattered most.
The final flight was piloted by Life Lion Chief Pilot Randy Emery, who also flew the helicopter’s inaugural flight and will be retiring in a few months after 25 dedicated years with Life Lion.
