This is Lifenet 71. You state that it was repainted weeks after it was delivered in another scheme, but the bird you posted isn't even the same chopper.

you're quite right, the real lifenet 71 is in for repair, N135SJ is a backup aircraft but uses the lifenet 71 call sign.

Lifenet 72 ,the Bk105, was repainted to match the new lifenet 71.

We don't have a lot of EMS-helicopters in Belgium cause Belgium is pretty small and you have enough hospitals and ambulances to put on every corner of the streets.



We've 2 EMS helo's, each in one side of the country.



The first one operates from out the AZ St.-Jan Hospital in Bruges. It responds to practicaly all medical calls in the western state of Belgium and some parts of the Netherlands. They fly out with a three member crew: a pilot (military formed), a nurse and a flight physician. There's room for 1 patient.



Type of aircraft: Aerospatiale 355F-1 Ecureuil 2. Registration: OO-HSB.

The second EMS helicopter in Belgium is one operated by the Centre de Secours Médicalisé in Bra-sur-Lienne (the french part of Belgium near the border of Luxembourg and Germany).



Untill the beginning of this year, they flew a Dauphin A5365N2, registration OO-NHZ.



The second picture is one with the OO-NHZ and the OO-NHB, the aircraft that replaced the Dauphin a couple of months ago. It's a Eurocopter EC145.

The Belgian Air Force has a squadron of rescue helicopters, based in Koksijde (Belgium shore). Their primary task is search and rescue at air accidents. Thanks to God, these kind of accidents don't happen a lot in Belgium so they have some more duties like: transport for burn victims, organ transport, search and rescue of swimmers, divers, sailors,...in the Belgium sea, medical help and evacuation on ships in sea and assisting the Belgium EMS for MCI's and accidents,....



They operate with a six man crew: a pilot, a co-pilot, a flight engineer, a SARSO (search and rescue system operator, like a navigator), a rescue diver and a medic. the medic is a trained EMT with extra training in AED and some other specific tasks.



The Belgian Air Force has 5 of those rescue helicopters, 2 of them are 24/7 stand-by with a maximum respons time of 15 minutes. Type of aircraft is a Westland Seaking MK48 with registrations RS01, RS02, RS03, RS04 and RS05. They helo can carry up to 18 passengers and the 6 man crew.



In 2001, BAF celebrated the 25th aniversary of the use of this aircraft in the force. For that reason, they painted the RS05 in a special edition. A few months ago, BAF gave a green light for the replacement of the Seakings by the NH90.
