MIT Flying Club is heading to Boston MedFlight’s base at Hanscom Field for an exclusive behind the scenes look at how their helicopter operation runs, then lunch in Bedford. We are driving, so you need no flying experience and no aircraft of your own.
Why this visit
Critical care aviation brings together flying, medicine, maintenance, weather decisions, and precise crew coordination. This is a chance to see another side of professional aviation and spend a morning with an organization whose aircraft serve communities across New England.
Boston MedFlight operates its own FAA Part 135 aviation program. Its current fleet includes Airbus H145 helicopters and a fixed-wing jet for longer-range transport, and flies in both VFR and IFR conditions with an in-house maintenance team keeping the rotorcraft available around the clock.
About Boston MedFlight
