Each month the IMC discusses a flight scenario in which everyone is encouraged to think about what they would do in various instrument situations. The discussions are interesting because everyone brings their own experiences and training. While the topic is typically instrument flying, we have a number of visual Flight Rule (VFR) pilots that participate as well. Are all welcome! Our goal is to make everyone a safer pilot.

OSF HealthCare leads the way in air ambulance service in Illinois and operates one of the premier flight programs in the United States. Today, they maintain an active fleet of four Airbus EC145 helicopters in order to provide excellent, quality care and service to their patients and referral network. Their commitment to the communities they serve is amazing.
