Trinity Air Ambulance stepped in to contribute their services to transfer a boy who was stuck in Orlando by insurance rules that would not pay to transfer him home to New York. Justin Heilman was stricken with a mysterious illness while vacationing in Orlando. After 6 weeks of testing, the doctors were unable to determine the cause and the family was desperate to return home to their own doctors and family support. Trinity Air Ambulance, with the help of several generous companies (Aztec Jet Center, at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Sheltair at Orlando Executive Airport and Sheltair at Farmingdale-Republic Airport in New York) pulled together with donations of time, services and fuel to make it happen. Fox News 35, Orlando featured the story and sent their reporter to accompany the Heilmans on board the ‘Red Jet’ Air Ambulance to New York. Fox News 5, New York also provided coverage of the flight and Justin’s arrival home.
