The 24/7 emergency service is always on call
to save lives whenever they’re needed.
We need to raise $6m each year to provide this critical service.
Your support helps ensure that we can continue to
offer this lifesaving service to our community.
This is one of the busiest weekends of the year on the roads. With @warbirdsoverwanaka back on the calendar for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we know there will be even more people travelling.
Please take care, keep to the speed limits, drive to the conditions, think carefully about where you overtake and make sure you take breaks to stay alert.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and the ROA Mining Rescue Helicopter crews will be on call as always but will be hoping not to meet you!
@roa_rescue_heli was out on search and rescue this week for a missing tramper. Thanks also to alpine cliff rescue #nzrescuehelicopters #rescuehelicoptersnz #lifesaving #searchandrescue
Each month one department at @gchaviation cooks a themed lunch for the whole base, including the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and @newzealandflyingdoctors team.
The Trust team have our turn in August - give us your ideas of what our theme could be!
This month was Jet Ops and the FBO. These teams are used to providing top notch service and they didn`t disappoint us! You can see how much the Air Rescue crew are enjoying their lunch 😀🥇
Last month we had a children`s birthday party with fairy bread and pin the tail on the squirrel (the helicopter kind of course!) PS the glasses are filled with sparkling grape juice 🥂
