Two of the Ketchikan based Critical-Care Flight Nurses, Michele

Featherwinds. Michele and Rachel discussed the flight environment,
what it is like to help sick people while flying in a Lear Jet
or on a helicopter; and provided some of their supplies to demonstrate
bandaging and dressing wounds.
The flight nurses also discussed
safety at home, such as ensuring that the girls always wore helmets
and safety pads while riding bicycles or playing sports. Also
