" Our air medical program is focused on safety and having
advanced technology systems on board our aircraft is vital to
accomplishing that goal, " continued Reeder. "Becker’s
reputation and leadership in the aircraft digital audio realm
convinced us to choose their system for our new aircraft. Our
partner, Air Methods Corporation, is installing the Becker system
on our aircraft at their high-tech and innovative Products Division
in Denver.”
