Take a moment to remember the three brave crew members of Bayflite 3, who perished 20 years ago today in a crash after departing the helipad at Bayfront Medical Center.

wow, that is a small city data world......... How is your wife doing 20 years later?

On April 25, 2000, a Bayflite rescue helicopter, Bayflite 3, had just dropped off a patient at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg and was returning to its base at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa. It was a clear and sunny day, midday, and the pilot was flying at about 500 feet.

Inexplicably, the helicopter flew into a 649-foot radio tower near Weedon Island. Killed were the pilot, Mark Wallace, 39; flight nurse Alicia Betita-Collins, 51; and paramedic Erik Hangartner, 29.
