Care Flight to offer rides to raise funds

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The Reno-area’s emergency medical helicopter service will be offering chopper rides to raise money for equipment.

Care Flight says the promotion will also give residents a chance to experience what it’s like to ride inside a medical helicopter — without experiencing a medical emergency.

For $75 per seat, people can take a 15-minute ride from one of three Care Flight locations. There are three seats available per flight.

Care Flight officials say money raised will help fund life-saving equipment.

The Saturday flights will be offered Sept. 22 at the airport in Truckee, Calif; Sept. 29 at Carson Valley Medical Center in Douglas County; and Oct. 6 at the REMSA office in Reno.
