On behalf of the University of Texas Health service, Metro Aviation operates four EC135. Strategically located around the City of Tyler, three EC135'a are based at the Hospital Helipads in Athens, Henderson and Quitman, while a 4th aircraft is kept in stand-by mode or back-up during maintenance. N912UT pictured here at dusk operates 24/7, as do the other three EC135 registered N911ET, N913ET and N914ET. N912UT was originally built for the Iraqi AF as YI-293 but never taken up, and was the last to join UT Health in March 2020.
