JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Someone on Life Flight Jacksonville\u2019s Facebook page posted about a special visit it received the day it named its aircraft \u201cDolly\u201d after the country singer who died Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the most unexpected and special visitor,\u201d the post read after a red-tailed hawk landed on the air ambulance within hours of its naming the helicopter after Dolly Parton.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe even stopped to perch on Dolly\u2019s rotor, as if she wanted to be part of the occasion. A beautiful moment that felt just a little bit magical,\u201d the post continued.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Special winged visitor appears the day Life Flight names copter after Dolly Parton <\/p>\n

The post called the visit \u201cspecial -\u201d as if someone was watching over the rescue crew that ferries critically injured people to area hospitals.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she approves of the name!\u201d<\/p>\n
