Air Evac Lifeteam 63 - Abilene, TX

11/25/2025

We would like to announce our newest addition to Air Evac 63. Caleb Wade joins our team filling a rare Pilot opening here.

Caleb grew up in Carlsbad New Mexico and moved to Abilene a few years back. He still has lots of family in New Mexico, but now also has a lot of family in Abilene.

He is a 2013 graduate of Carlsbad High School. Aviation peaked his interest at a young age. Following high school, he followed his dream of flying by enrolling in flight school at Quantum Helicopters in 2014. Since earning his FAA pilot's certificate he has gained experience through many different helicopter operations. He started off flying for the oil and gas industry in NM for a few years and then moved to flying power line inspections in South Texas. He eventually switched gears and started flying tours in Myrtle beach and even in Las Vegas through the Grand Canyon!!

In 2019 he hung up his helicopter touring to begin a career flying Helicopter EMS which lead him to Kansas and eventually back to Texas and New Mexico.

He started his Air Evac career at our AEL 115 base at Eastland, Tx in 2022. In October of this year we had a rare opening at Air Evac 63 and Caleb joined our team.

Early next year he and his girlfriend Macie are expecting their first baby in March.

Caleb, we are excited to have you on our team and look forward to working with you.

STARS of LIFE
An annual celebration that recognizes the extraordinary service of paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and mobile healthcare providers.

The 2025 Stars of Life program, hosted by the American Ambulance Association (AAA), honored 147 EMS professionals from across the United States for their service, with a national celebration in Washington, D.C. from November 3–5, 2025.

What the Stars of Life represent
• Dedication and compassion:
Honorees are recognized for their unwavering commitment and compassion in their communities through their profession.

• Exemplary service:
The awards highlight those who have gone above and beyond, whether through life-saving interventions or other community-focused efforts.

• Advocacy:
The national event provides a platform for EMS professionals to speak directly with legislators about the challenges and successes of their work.

The Honorees shared their experience.
The first event was a GMR banquet where they had a social hour to meet and greet with other recipients as well as GMR Executives, followed by an awards ceremony with all the Executives. Each person recieved the Star of Life medal.

The following day the recipients met with the AAA representatives to meet their host for capital hill meetings!

The next day they had meetings with legislators and aids at Capital Hill. Missy and Marc met with John Cornyn's aid to share their experiences and advocate for the EMS field. Following the meetings, they had a reception with the executives followed by the GMR Stars of Life photo.

The last night began with a social hour filled by the AAA banquet where each recipient was recognized individually with their awards.

Congratulations, Missy and Marc, as the Newest members of the Stars of Life from the Big Country!! We are proud to have you on our team!!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and coworkers of Suzie.

Our REACH family is devastated to share that Susan “Suzie” Smith has passed away from injuries sustained during the accident involving helicopter N414RX on Highway 50 on Monday night.

We will remember Suzie as a pillar of the EMS and healthcare community who saved countless lives by delivering compassionate care in their darkest hours. Suzie’s 50-year career as a nurse included nearly 21 years with REACH, and we are proud to call her our colleague and friend. We hope she is remembered for the light she brought to every call, every shift, and every patient she blessed with her care.

We grieve Suzie’s loss with her family, friends, colleagues and the entire community that she faithfully served. Her impact will be felt for years to come through the lives she touched, the teams she strengthened, and the compassion she embodied. Thank you for keeping Suzie’s loved ones and our REACH family in your thoughts and support for our team during this difficult time.
