By Monday night, folks in our area will see a new air medical service taking flight. At 9 p.m. Lifenet will take the place of Life Flight as an air medical provider.

Lifenet officials say they're prepared for takeoff.

"The whole program is extremely excited about kicking Lifenet Tallahassee off in a very professional way, and its going very well," said James McCoy of Lifenet Tallahassee.

The total cost of the chopper is estimated at $1 million.
