First EC155 B1 For EMS Use In US Getting Painted

Metro Aviation Built Scale Model To Plan Livery

Metro Aviation tells HAI's Rotor News it is in the process of completing the first of three EC155 B1 aircraft for the University of Michigan Survival Flight. The aircraft will reportedly be the first EC155 B1 equipped and operated with an EMS package in the United States. The first aircraft is being painted in the University of Michigan's maize and blue logo, similar to a Bell 430 currently in service for Survival Flight.

Since the university is the first customer for the EC155 B1, preliminary design included the building of a scale model for Survival Flight to review before completion of the aircraft.

Metro Aviation, Inc. was established in 1982 as a helicopter charter, flight training, and maintenance operation facility.
