The Air Ambulance Forum was founded in December 2004 by Cole Bachelder. Cole, who had worked in the Air Ambulance Industry for the preceding 10 years, recognized the industry's need for a secure web site where members could address common concerns, learn from shared experiences and gain industry insight through collaborative efforts. The Air Ambulance Forum web site is a members only site and its use and access is restricted to those engaging in the day-to-day delivery of fixed wing aeromedical services.
