CJ Systems Aviation Group is expanding its Baptist Hospital LifeFlight aeromedical program in Pensacola, Fla., with a second base at Mobile, Ala. Baptist Hospital and CJ Systems have taken over responsibility for air-transport services from an operation formerly managed by the University of South Alabama Medical Center. The new site will be renamed LifeFlight-Mobile and run as a partnership between Baptist Hospital and the critical-care transportation group division of CJ Systems.

CJ Systems is basing a BK 117 at LifeFlight-Mobile, operated by four pilots and one technician. Critical-care transportation group v-p Ed Marasco said a twin-engine helicopter with room for two patients will improve the facilities available in the area. “They’ll be able to do more specialty team transports, such as neonatal and pediatric.”
