How you can support us…
Being a winch operator is not for the faint hearted. You`re standing on the skids of a rescue helicopter literally holding someone`s life in your hands.
Wayne was the winch operator involved in rescuing Rob, who was trapped in a boat. It wasn`t easy, as Wayne explains.

Putting together a rescue mission is like piecing together a puzzle โ everyone has a vital role to play. You are part of that puzzle too.
Your support is what ensures the Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew have the best training and equipment. Itโs what enabled the life-saving rescue of Rob from a crashed jet boat โ a story weโve shared with you over the last month.
This Chopper Appeal we need to raise $100,000 for the Westpac Rescue Helicopters across Canterbury and the West Coast.

When asked about one of his most memorable rescues, Zack thought of this one - rescuing a tramper from an area called The Boneyards, near the Old Ghost Road.
It`s easy to see why this job was special. The landscape is spectacular!
We`re lucky to live, work and play in some of the most beautiful, isolated and challenging terrain in New Zealand - safe in the knowledge that if the worst happens, the rescue helicopter is there.
Help us keep the Canterbury and West Coast rescue helicopters mission-ready. Donate today.
