STARS Air Ambulance

Helicopters

Nonprofit helicopter rescue service formed in Calgary, Alberta in 1985.

Operating bases

Calgary (STAR-1) at Calgary Intl Airport, AB
Edmonton (STAR-3) at Edmonton Intl Airport, AB
Grande Prairie (STAR-5) at Grande Prairie Airport, AB
Winnipeg (STAR-7) at James Armstrong Richardson Intl Airport, MB
Regina (STAR-9) at Regina Airport, SK
Saskatoon (STAR-11) at John G Diefenbaker Airport, SK

They leave a one-number gap in order to identify training aircraft, or specially-assigned aircraft outside normal operations, e.g. STAR-3 identifies the mission-ready Edmonton aircraft, so STAR-4 could be a pilot training flight that may be occurring at the same time.
