University of Pennsylvania Health System established the PennSTAR air ambulance program in the summer of 1988 to serve patients in Delaware, New Jersey and central Pennsylvania. This 1985 model BK117 was test flown in Germany as D-HBMZ, then shipped to MBB Helicopter Corp at Brandywine Airport, PA and flew as N44932 prior to delivery to aero medical operator CJ Systems as N117CJ for use by the STAT Medevac and PennStar EMS programs. Air Methods bought CJ Systems in October 2007 and retired N117CJ in 2015. Metro Aviation now flies four helicopters for PennStar from three bases.

To better cover the western part of Südtirol (Vinschgau), "Heli Flugrettung Südtirol" has based an EMS helicopter in Lasa since February 2020. What initially started as a 3 year seasonal trial program, has since developped into a permanent base. The following EC145 / H145 have so far operated as "Pelikan 3": I-SLND, I-AHTD, I-SUEM, I-ATLS and I-PTAH. I-LMBD pictured here was only based in Lana on March 1, 2023, as it was able to accomodate the night flying and spotlight equipment required to guarantee longer operating hours (between 8am and 8pm), well into the darkness during the wintertime.
