🚁 MEET THE TEAM 🚁
Meet Eric Andres, one of our dedicated Helicopter Maintenance Technicians whose passion for aviation and safety has been shaped by 15 years of military experience. After transitioning from military aviation, he joined Gallup Med Flight nine months ago and quickly became an essential part of the team.
What he enjoys most about helicopter maintenance is the responsibility that comes with the job. In his words, when something is broken, there’s no debating it or putting it off, it has to be fixed because safety always comes first. Being able to identify an issue and make the repair himself is one of the most rewarding parts of the work.
When he’s off shift, you’ll usually find him staying busy with projects around the house or unwinding with some gaming, especially Grand Theft Auto. Originally from Nevada, his idea of the perfect day off is simple: sleeping in, enjoying a good cup of coffee, and keeping the phone notifications turned off for a little peace and quiet.
Something people may not know about him is that he left for military boot camp at just 17 years old. He’s also currently studying Buddhism, something that has become an important personal interest outside of work
