Cessna 195 captured by Z 8 / Z100-400
Long before medevacs and the hilos we have today, getting someone in a remote or rural area urgent care was by car. In the 1930s & 40s in Canada, even that wasn’t an option for rural folks especially in winter. That’s when the Air Ambulance service came into being, saving thousands of lives. Flying in the dead of night in the dead of winter, landing on snow on a strip lit by the headlights of Model Ts, that took skill and a large set of *^$#! And they did just that and a lot more. I’m thrilled EAA Vintage ran this story, they rocked it!
