The Ga***rd flight team was excited to attend North Country Aviation’s grand re-opening and celebrate its new ownership. It was a beautiful fall morning filled with great people, aviation, and plenty of excitement!

We were also honored to welcome Congressman Bergman, who stopped by for a tour of the aircraft with our Pilot Ryan, Flight Nurse Bill, and Flight Paramedic Derek.

Congratulations to North Country Aviation on this exciting new chapter! We’re looking forward to seeing all the great things ahead. 🎉✈️

Training can never start too early! ✈️

One of our pilots was recently photographed teaching his mini the ropes—starting the next generation early! Family is everything, and we feel so lucky to have our loved ones visit us while we’re at work, standing by and waiting for the call to help those in need.

These are the moments that make the long hours and being away from home all worth it.

✈️🚁 Safety & Preparedness at Guardian Flight 🚁✈️

At Guardian Flight, we are committed to safety — safety within our organization, safety for our patients and customers, and most importantly, safety for our team members.

This week and next, our pilots, medical crews, and administrative staff are participating in hands-on Safety Day training focused on emergency preparedness and survival skills.

Our teams are learning and practicing skills such as:
🏕️ Building emergency shelters
🔥 Fire building
📡 Emergency signaling
💧 Water purification
🤝 Teamwork and problem-solving in an emergency environment

While we hope we never find ourselves in a situation where we need to put these skills to use, being prepared is an important part of being safe.

Training like this helps ensure that if the unexpected happens, our teams are ready to respond, adapt, and take care of one another.

Prepared today. Safer tomorrow. 💙🚁
