I live here in Montana and had not heard this news yet! I'm in shock. Thank you for sharing. As a previous flight nurse, we all know the risks, but know the patient benefit of air medical transport. Thanks for sharing.

3 Dead in Medical  Plane Crash in Mont.
Wednesday, February 07, 2007

MANHATTAN, Mont.  -  A medical airplane headed to Bozeman to pick up a
patient crashed as  it was preparing to land, killing all three people on
board, authorities  said.

Benefis Healthcare in Great Falls confirmed its "MercyFlight," a  King
Air 200 turboprop, crashed Tuesday night. The pilot, a nurse and  a
paramedic were killed. Their identities were not immediately  released.

It is always sad to witness a  sudden loss of life, and it is especially sad
when a member of the medical  community is lost.   Our thoughts, prayers, and
condolences are  extended to the many family and friends of those who lost
their lives in this  plane crash in Montana.,   May God grant each strength and 
understanding during this time of grief and saddness.
