Nassau PD Medevac Mission

After taking care of some business this morning, I went up to Oyster Bay, grabbed some lunch and parked over at Teddy Roosevelt Part/Beach. After a while, heard sirens, and saw an NCPD helicopter circling overhead. Was going to grab a quick shot of it, when I realized they were getting ready to land in the adjacent LIRR parking lot, so I headed on over. Turned out to be Nassau's newest Bell 407 landing for a Medevac pickup.

Prepping for the patient's arrival:

Wow....nice shots Moose!

Nice shots Moose. You're right...right time and place for you at least.

Moose, you should send the loading of the patient and chopper and ambulance to newsday.com. You may make the papers.

My initial response was "*** Newsday" (I'm sure many of you will know why :wink: ) But you're right - I sent them along, let's see if anything comes of it.
