As a former Flight Medic with Calstar in CA, I would have much preferred the Bell 429 to the airframe we had. There have been massive improvements no doubt because of the work we did 10,15, 20 years ago. I like the Bell better then the Army Blackhawk.
I've rode in a Careflite helicopter from Denison Texas to Dallas Texas by car to get from Denison to Dallas its an hour and a half drive but by Careflite I was in Dallas in 25 minutes I was in a heart rhythm called SVT my pulse was 285 my cardiologist told the ER doctor on the phone in Denison "get him to Dallas as fast as you can" so they called in Careflite and I took a ride in a helicopter for the first time it was fun and normally when a patient takes a helicopter ride they are usually unconscious and don't know a thing about it but I was fully conscious and aware of everything its just my heart rythym was out of wack and I got to Dallas and they already had a room ready for me all that had to happen was I just needed to show up and I did I got to the room and they had a cardioverting machine waiting and ready to go they hooked me up to the cardioverting machine gave me Versed shocked my heart got me out of SVT and got my heart rythym back in normal sinus rythym
Well done! I used to fly in our SCPD helicopter a lot. Did a medical rescue one time.

The clam shell doors and low slung tail rotor are of concern. The interior of the helicopter looks small to me.
Beautiful!!!!
