Does anyone fly a new Medevac Jet?
Just curious..... with old Lr's dominating the medevac field, if anyone worked for a company that flew new'ish equipment?
The initial costs are obviously more for new equipment, but so are ongoing mx problems for the older fleets?
Old lears are 1-2 mil........ semi-old Citation V's are 3-5 mil...... new Encore's are 12mil,etc.......
You can't beat the speed/operating costs of an old Lr35..... but when these a/c start to break do you start the cycle over again with another old Lr, or do you upgrade to something newer?
I guess, it's all about the $$$. If the medevac contract pays well, the company may have some room to upgrade the fleet.
