“This newly completed aircraft from Wysong will be a great addition to our fleet and we look forward to receiving the next two,” said Med-Trans director of marketing and public relations Reid Vogel. “Wysong has worked on completing new aircraft and also modifying existing aircraft for us for years. The addition of these aircraft will bring our fleet total to 68 aircraft across 57 programs in the United States.
