University of Michigan Health System EC55 · N156UM

About This Photo

The image shows a blue and yellow helicopter in a stationary position on a paved tarmac area. The helicopter is marked with the registration "N156UM" and has the words "SURVIVAL FLIGHT" prominently displayed in bold yellow letters on its blue fuselage. The tail features a large yellow "M" on a blue background with a yellow vertical stabilizer and enclosed tail rotor. The helicopter's color scheme is blue with bright yellow accents, and there is text indicating affiliation with "University of Michigan Health System" and "C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital." The helicopter is attached to a blue tow bar connected to a red tug vehicle, which is partially visible on the right side of the image. One person wearing a dark cap and shirt is sitting on the tug, and another person stands near the helicopter’s tail, partially obscured. The background contains a mix of grass fields and small white buildings, one of which has the letters "EAA" visible on its facade. Trees line the horizon, and the sky above is mostly clear with a few small clouds. The scene takes place outdoors in a daytime setting with bright sunlight illuminating the helicopter and casting shadows on the ground. The location appears to be a small airport or airfield with a moderate level of activity and infrastructure including hangars and operational vehicles.
