Calstar flying again in S. Lake Tahoe

Calstar is back in business after being grounded because of radio issues.

“All the radios and navigation equipment have been working fine after the repair by Airbus and we have completed several flights this week without any difficulty,” Bryan Pond with the air ambulance company told Lake Tahoe News.

The Airbus H135/P3 based out of Lake Tahoe Airport was taken out of service in mid-August because the radio frequency was not working properly. This became a safety issue.

CareFlight filled in for the local air ambulance in the interim.
