EagleMed critical care air medical service is flying an air medical helicopter outfitted in Wichita State University’s black and gold WuShock livery over the skies of south central Kansas. The special design celebrates successes of the WSU Shocker athletics program. 
 
Based at EagleMed headquarters in Wichita, the Textron Bell 407 is equipped with an air medical services interior, designed for critical care transport. It has complete medical systems including oxygen, suction, air, storage, electrical power, and approved provisions for securing medical support equipment during all aspects of flight.
 
“This is a great opportunity for EagleMed to show our Shocker spirit and to give back to the community we call home,” said EagleMed President Larry Bugg. “We appreciate Wichita State University permitting EagleMed to proudly display the WuShock symbol as we conduct lifesaving helicopter transports for our friends and neighbors in need.”
 
The Shocker Copter was officially dedicated in ceremonies today at EagleMed’s main headquarters and hangar at Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. WuShock represented Wichita State University’s involvement in the program.
The Bell 407’s all-composite, four-bladed rotor system provides excellent hover performance and speed for a smooth ride. Features include quick and easy patient loading and unloading provided by a standard bi-fold door with a 61-inch opening and a spacious cabin.
 
EagleMed highly-trained pilots undergo extensive aviation and rigorous safety training to include simulation. EagleMed’s expert medical crews consist of a registered nurse and a paramedic with advanced clinical certifications.
