00:00.000 --> 00:03.474
(intense music)

00:03.474 --> 00:06.161
- Basically, we turn an aircraft,

00:06.161 --> 00:10.830
a cargo aircraft, or a tanker,
into a flying hospital.

00:10.830 --> 00:13.009
You get that phone call and at that point

00:13.009 --> 00:14.751
you maybe have two, two and a half hours

00:14.751 --> 00:19.668
to get your stuff together,
and you have to have wheels up.

00:20.630 --> 00:21.999
You get the phone call, you figure out

00:21.999 --> 00:23.173
what bird you're gonna fly on,

00:23.173 --> 00:25.012
and how you're gonna
configure it from there.

00:25.012 --> 00:28.395
- We go into a crew
briefing, and your whole plan

00:28.395 --> 00:30.463
could just turn into something different,

00:30.463 --> 00:32.942
depending on the aircraft,
and how much space

00:32.942 --> 00:34.763
we are allotted to work with.

00:34.763 --> 00:36.039
- [Trey] We have to know
everything about them,

00:36.039 --> 00:37.593
how to integrate, how to configure,

00:37.593 --> 00:39.366
utilize the electrical capabilities

00:39.366 --> 00:43.967
and the oxygen capabilities
to meet those patient needs.

00:43.967 --> 00:45.147
- You have to have a playset.

00:45.147 --> 00:47.435
We can get to our equipment,
and we have to understand

00:47.435 --> 00:49.666
how to strap it down to the aircraft.

00:49.666 --> 00:50.804
- [Trey] It's a totally different world

00:50.804 --> 00:53.743
than working in a
hospital in the medigroup.

00:53.743 --> 00:55.288
- When I'm airborne in an aircraft,

00:55.288 --> 01:00.288
and it's me and a patient, every
mission to me is impactful.

01:01.023 --> 01:04.254
- I think that, honestly, a lot of people,

01:04.254 --> 01:05.774
when you're going through it, sometimes

01:05.774 --> 01:07.520
it sucks just like any other job.

01:07.520 --> 01:10.578
But I'm so confident that
when people look back,

01:10.578 --> 01:13.548
after doing AE they say
that it's the best job

01:13.548 --> 01:15.548
that they have ever had.
