Memorial Hermann Life Flight is a hospital-based air medical transport service in Houston, Texas.
Prior to 2020, Life Flight flew into 12th floor of the John S. Dunn Heli-Stop atop Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center.
Service began on August 1, 1976 as the second helicopter air medical program in the United States of America.
The founder, Dr. James H. "Red" Duke, Jr., was the medical director for Life Flight from its inception until his death August 25, 2015.
It has no structural beams, or pillars, blocking the cabin space, and it also has large rear “clamshell” doors to use for loading and unloading patient stretchers.
It featured dual engines, double patient load capacity and a high skid configuration to improve safety around the tail rotor.
