C118s scheduled for use in air medical evacuations by Marty Geshen staff writer Wiesbaden. Germany is More modern four engine aircraft with pressurized Cabins Are expected to replace the c54s now be ing used within Europe on Aero medical evacuation operations sometime during the next two years according to maj Gen John k. Cullen Safe surgeon Here. The 2nd aeromedical evacuation up and the 7167th air transport so which handle medical evacuation flights in Europe Africa and the Middle East currently employc131s and oxygen equipped c54s forthe task. The c131s Are considered idea for the Short hops encountered o routine runs Cul Len noted but added that four engine aircraft of the c118 variety would be preferable for longer trips to North Africa Turkey and places even More Distant. The c54s Are capable of these Long flights but while they could travel at altitudes High enough to Cross the Alps their Cabins Are not pressurized and patients must use oxygen masks in the higher reaches of the atmosphere. Our greatest need in european aeromedical evacuation is for More modern aircraft Cullen said. But he pointed out that jets of thec135 Type used for aeromedical runs from Europe to the states would not be practical on local operations. The scheduled runs which the 2nd aeromedical evacuation up makes in its Safe operation Scall for Short and frequent stops. They go regularly to . Air bases round Western Europe Turkey and Libya. But special medical mis ions have gone to places As far As cd Len and Leopold Karachi Pakistan Volle in the even supersonic aircraft Fly ing at 2,000 Miles an hour would be unnecessary for Safe evacuation runs Cullen explained.
