Sorry about that, I meant they are usually in the air once we call in 4-8 mins which they can get to a scene anywhere in the county within minutes, depending though on how we receive the call , we sometimes call while responding to let them know what we are going on and put them on standby which shortens there responce because they will go ahead to the aircraft, once we determine need we let them know to launch or not, Air Evac does flying standbys , they will launch and head your direction and we can cancel them dependant on need for airlft or not.
