A slight addition to this (maybe OT) thread but my wife was being medivac'd on a small jet to a larger medical facility a few years ago, one of the medical fellows on board used his cell phone a couple of times on board while in flight. I asked him about that and he said it was no problem and he said there was no restriction as far as he knew. As long as there was service he could use the phone. It was a big clunky Motorola brick phone. But the plane/medivac is part of the provincial ambulance service so rules might be different in this case, compared to commercial aviation. Keith |->Joe
