HEMS is tough and dangerous work. A truly noble profession.
Kudos for making 18 years in the air, that is an amazing record.
I cant imagine what you have seen and experienced and suffered through over the years.
Many Thanks for you service, it is truly one of the under-recognized public services that few think about, but when you need it, it is a life saving godsend.

Thank you for the kind words. I moved into our Safety Department a little over 10 years ago. So I now have a little over 28 years in the industry. We’re a large operator with about 330 aircraft in our medical fleet nationwide. I lost a couple of friends in crashes over the years and wanted to start doing something to stop those losses. Everyone flying those missions deserves to come home at the end of their shift. I hope you find your seaplane ride! Be well!
