Sunday 14 March 2010 at the Arturo Ferrarin Aiport in Varese,  CANGURO ONLUS FLIGHTS AID will present the first European AIR HOSPITAL.

This aircraft will be used to operate in underdeveloped countries in normal conditions and wherever there is need in extraordinary conditions (disaster, tsunami, earthquakes, etc.). The aircraft will be equipped with two ophthalmic operating rooms, one dental clinic room and an external pneumatic tent with 8 beds.

The project has been possible thanks to the donation by the  Fabbrica del Sorriso, and the contribution of the sponsors among which AvMap. AvMap will equip the Fokker 27 cockpit  with 2  EKP IV and will provide a  GeoPilot II Plus to be used in the smaller aircrafts used for the short distance flights in Africa.
