    The light green helicopters are AirLife Denver.

    I am a former AirLink pilot from Scottsbluff, NE and have flown that helicopter many times. There are some bad places to have a malfunction, Children's Hospital in Denver has to be one of the worst.

    I gotta think that "anywhere airborne" outstrips the roof of Children's as a bad place to have a malfunction...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Not really. Many malfunctions result in just landing the helicopter, either immediately or at a nearby airport. If it breaks on a rooftop helipad, it is stuck there until fixed or moved, as seen in the picture.

    Fixed wing pilots take off and cruise. Rotary wing pilots take off and immediately begin looking for places to land.

    Tristate CareFlight flies out of Taos, NM and Santa Fe, NM.

    TriState Careflight (now owned by AirMethods) flies out of Raton-my older son is a flight medic with the company and is based there. They handle SW Colorado, N New Mexico, E Utah.
