Panama City Police assisted the helicopter down onto the roadway. According to the Coast Guard out of Sector Mobile the chopper was dispatched out of Clearwater, Florida to respond to a 46 foot fishing vessel 50 nautical miles off Apalachicola Bay. A 29-year-old fisherman had severed off his thumb and was hoisted from the AC-3 vessel.
The Jayhawk helicopter is more than 60 feet in diameter and weighs more than 20,000 pounds. After circling the hospital for more than 30 minutes the helicopter successfully landed and the patient was transported into Bay Medical.
