Me and the rigs at work

Isn't there a narrower version of the Grandia (commuter) that you can use for high speed work? IMHO, the engine in the Grandia is better built for it (and it's a torquey motherhugger).

Nice job, Doc! Heard that ambulance work pays well... or is it volunteer/part-time duty for you?

Thank you for these interesting information.

Yep, but they weren't available during the time Aeromed was adding to its fleet. The widebody is used in Makati since there isn't really much high speed running going on and the extra space is really a godsend.

Pay is about industry average but, hey, it's not a job - it's an adventure! It's like living out my childhood fantasies. I don't think I can grow old in this kind of field so might as well have a stab at it while I'm still young.

Yep, I'm part-time. I mostly do motorsports events (e.g. BRC drag racing) and out of town patient transport including airlifts.

Hayuf. Galing galing.

Plus you get to use the "wang-wang" legally. :D

Bwahaha... adventure nga... sounds fun. Hope I don't need to avail of your services in the future, but I'll look you up if ever we're at an AF3 or Cup event...

Just some newer photos.

I was in Aero4 on the northbound lane of the SLEX when Aero1 overtook us. Aero1 is a Hyundai Starex. I don't know much about it since it's usually on stanby at the Infox call center in Sta. Rosa Laguna. It is on its way to Metro Manila to have the a/c system repaired.

Here's Aero 2. Another Nissan Urvan just like Aero 7. One of Aeromed's workhorses. Aside from being one of the most popular units for urban work, Aero 2 is also deployed for motorsports events and provincial conductions.

Shown is the spine board with spider strap, cervical collar and head immobilizer. It's already set up in case a race vehicle gets into a crash. The photos were taken at the Carmona Racing Circuit.
