Does Helicopter Emergency Medical Service Transfer Offer Benefit to Patients with Stroke?
Stroke 43:878-880, Olson,M.D. and Rabinstein,A.A., 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Air transfer of patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolysis does not seem to impart any benefit to patient outcomes when compared with ground transport. Therefore, ground transport should be considered for these patients unless they are being considered for emergency endovascular rescue therapy.
