LifeNet replaces Flight for Life in McHenry
Hey everyone,
I just got some updates from Asher Heimermann regarding Flight For Life operations. As of April 2020, it seems that Flight For Life has stopped running out of McHenry. Air Methods has taken over the McHenry base, which is located at Northwestern Medicine McHenry Hospital. Interestingly, the helicopter’s appearance hasn’t changed much except for the removal of the Flight for Life text, which has now been replaced with "LifeNet."
Also, Flight for Life shut down their base in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin back in January 2019. Currently, they only operate one helicopter out of the Waukesha County Airport.
Check out these photos I found. The first one is a Larry Shapiro photo showing what looks like an older setup, and the second one is by Asher Heimermann, capturing the current state of affairs.

There’s also a slideshow available if you want to see more visuals. It's kind of bittersweet to see these changes, but that’s how things go sometimes. Let me know if you have any thoughts or additional info on this.
Best,
[Your Name]
P.S. If anyone has any memories or stories about the old bases, feel free to share!
