Makes sense to have your helicopter assembly line adjacent to PHI & Acadian Ambulance.

115 full-time, decent paying jobs. Joey D & Bobby Jingle doing some work.

Air Med (a division of Acadian), alone, has 6 EC-135s. They do bill themselves as the largest air ambulance service in the US - so that means it must be a fairly diffuse industry.

PHI has lots of helicopters, though... lots.
