Description: 
	During a repositioning flight from the Salt Lake International Airport
	to our Ogden base a near miss was encountered with 2 small civil
	aircraft.  AirMed 14 was being directed by SLC approach control when 2
	aircraft not in contact with approach control came close enough for
	all aircraft to take evasive action.  Both civil aircraft were flying
	close enough to each other that approach control could only identify
	one target on radar.  No radio response from either of the civil
	aircraft was obtained before, during, or after the incident.  The
	flight ended with no further incident.
