Just now, 2 identical Dark colored choppers landed at Akron Children's Hospital, with room for only one chopper at a time on the pad. so one was circling the area til the first one took off.

 

They are either Bell 222's or similar, are dark (blue?) with yellow stripes.

They both had skids instead of retractable landing gear.

 

They are so far the coolest looking choppers I have seen recently.

I think they might be the new MetroHealth System helicopters – the colors are correct and they recently got rid of their Sikorskys.  The new helicopters are Eurocopter EC-145s.

I thought their choppers were yellow with blue stripes.

 

But these choppers that I saw today looked more like Bell 222's, kinda like from the tv show Airwolf

Just got a better look at one that just flew over my building to land at Akron Children's Hospital and it is definitely from University of Michigan 'Survival Flight'
