Looking at their site http://acadianairmed.com/site.php I would guess they’re responding to an oil rig.

Yep, somebody must have gotten hurt on a rig.

2918 is most likely the lattitude, 29 degrees 18 minutes.

N911ER is a cute reg number for a lifeguard helo.

Another interesting MedEvac. This one’s in PA.

It looks like they started off in Erie transferred helos in Clarion County and are now going to…?
