From the October 22, 1981 edition of The Wayne Herald:
SkyMed to Start Wayne Air-Ambulance Service
Dr. Willis Wiseman of the Wayne Family Practice Group takes a look inside the SkyMed air-ambulance helicopter, a jet-powered Bell Long Ranger, minutes after it landed at Providence Medical Center Hospital at 9:10 a.m. Wedneesday.
John Boone was representing five Omaha hospitals that have agreed to use SkyMed, a 24-hour emergency helicopter service offered by Midland Helicopter Inc., Omaha.
SkyMed was on the ground for about an hour to allow Wayne hospital and medial personnel time to examine the on-board medical equipment.
SkyMed will be available for service in the Wayne area starting Monday. Hospitals involved in the cooperative air-ambulance venture include Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital, Childrens Memorial Hospital, Immanuel Medical Center, Methodist Hospital and the UNL Medical Center.
