🇺🇸 As we fly in to this weekend, we would like to remind everyone that Memorial Day is a time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of all the heroes who have worn our nation’s uniform, especially those who gave their lives protecting the freedoms we hold dear.

From all of us at First Flight, we wish everyone a SAFE Memorial Day weekend. Please take a moment to pause to remember, reflect, and honor the true meaning behind the red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸

‼️We have a HUGE announcement‼️

📄 🎤

Some careers are measured in years.
Others are measured in lives touched, crews protected, and the quiet confidence people feel when they know they’re in good hands. Jon’s career has been all of those things and more.

Over the years, he has been more than just a pilot to the First Flight team. He has been the calm voice in the headset during chaos, the steady hand in rough weather, the quiet reassurance behind every safe landing, and the teammate who always showed up when it mattered most.

There are countless patients who made it home because Jon answered the call. Countless crews who felt safer climbing into the aircraft knowing he was in the front seat. And countless memories made between flights, early mornings, weather delays, laughter in the hangar, and the kind of teamwork that becomes family over time.

Retirement may mark the end of a career, but it will never mark the end of the impact Jon has had on all of us. His dedication, professionalism, humor, and heart helped shape the culture of First Flight in ways that will continue long after his final lift-off.

Jon, thank you for every mile flown, every life touched, every lesson taught, and every crew you brought home safely.

The skies will feel a little different without you in them.

From all of us at First Flight, congratulations on your retirement. You’ve more than earned the next chapter. 💙🚁

This EMS Week, we celebrate the calm in the chaos, the hands that never hesitate, and the crews who answer every call with skill, heart, and grit. From the ground to the skies, we couldn’t do it with out or EMS personnel.
Here’s to the medics at First Flight 🚁 without you, the nurses would have to carry all the bags, untangle their own cords, and learn how to give a thorough 20 second report on the radio.

HAPPY EMS WEEK TO ALL THE EMTs, INTERMEDIATES, AND PARAMEDICS! 🚑 🚁

Another quarterly HEMS training day in the books! ✅ 🚁 📖

From hands-on skills stations, high-pressure patient scenarios, and education, the day was packed with learning, teamwork, and sharpening skills. Every drill, discussion, and scenario we are a part of, helps prepare us to provide safer, stronger care and second nature skills for when time matters most. 🚁
