Save two children of the islands from the Air Force

A Falcon 50 and two crews of the 31 ° Stormo engaged in a relay race with the islands to save two children in imminent danger of life. A Falcon 50 of the 31 ° Stormo di Ciampino transported a one-year-old girl in imminent danger of life from Catania to Rome today. The mission, requested by the Prefecture of Catania, was arranged by the Top Situation Room of the Air Squad Command, the operations room in charge of coordinating this type of interventions in favor of the community. The aircraft, which departed from the Ciampino base, embarked the child in Catania together with a medical team and parents, then took off towards the capital, where it landed at around 12:00. From here the little patient was transferred by ambulance to the “Bambino Gesù” hospital. Immediately after, the aircraft received another task, again for an emergency transport to save the life of a Sardinian child of only seven months. The Falcon 50, refueled and boarded a second crew to allow the physiological recovery of the first, took off very quickly towards Cagliari. Once the child embarked with his parents and doctors, the aircraft took off at 14 pm for Pisa, where it landed after an hour of flight. Here, the child was quickly transported by ambulance to the “Pasquinucci” Hospital in Massa, to receive the urgent specialist care needed. The transport aircraft and helicopters of the Italian Air Force, including those of the 20 ° Stormo, are used every day for state transport and for public utility missions, such as the emergency medical transport of the sick, seriously traumatized and organs for transplants, as well as for interventions in favor of people in situations of risk of various kinds. This service is carried out throughout the national territory, including the islands. The medical transport activity, given the imminent danger to life of the people transported, requires having aircraft and staff rates in a state of readiness without interruption, twenty-four hours a day, 31 days a year.
