Last Wednesday, our team had the privilege of attending the VIP event to celebrate the inaugural arrival of the BMA CQ Rescue AW139 in our region! This remarkable helicopter is a true game-changer, boasting the ability to fly 30% further and 30% faster. This means BMA CQ Rescue can reach you more quickly, search for longer periods, and save even more lives throughout our community. The introduction of the AW139 heralds a new era in lifesaving capabilities, and we are immensely proud to welcome it to our region. Check out some of the photos of our team, as well as beautiful shots of helicoptrer by talented Fiona at Coffee and Hops!
