LifeNet Air 2
  Newburgh, NY

“Air-2” started as a 12 hour operation at Sullivan County Airport in May 1995 with a BK117. The summer months were quite busy, but things slowed down after Labor Day so the base was moved to the geographic center of the normal operating area, Orange County Airport, in November 1995. The hours were also changed from 1000 – 2200, to 1100 – 2300 to better meet the periods of highest demand. 24 hour operations began in Spring 1997.

January 2003 the base was moved 8 miles Northeast to new facilities at Kobelt airport. Now there was a dedicated, heated hangar and our own jet fuel truck.

In 2006 a new hangar was built, a new fuel system was added and the aircraft was changed to an EC-135.

Later, in 2008 the transition was made back to a BK-117 and is currently the airframe utilized.

In 2011 we once again saw the opportunity to enhance our operations and the base was relocated to Stewart International Airport in Newburghh, NY.
