With another round of winter weather headed our way, the aircraft will most likely spend the weekend indoors. While they get a little rest, our flight teams will continue to do transports with the help of MAMA Ground as long as road conditions are safe. Please heed the advice of your local leaders and stay off the roads as much as possible. Our best advice," make good choices"... Stay safe and keep warm!

A big thanks to the great men and women at Balsam Grove Fire Rescue and Transylvania County Emergency Services for braving the cold this week to practice LZ operations. Without our volunteer fire departments and local EMS agencies, we couldn't play our part in patient care. Thanks for all you do!

As we close the books on 2025, we want to thank all of our partners who helped us in carrying out our mission. It takes all of us working in coordination for patients to have positive outcomes. 2025 was full of challenges, but the silver linings always out numbered the dark clouds. We welcomed new team members, celebrated retiring veterans, and worked tirelessly to provide the best care possible. And with the new year upon us, we're ready for all that awaits us. Thanks you for all your support and Happy New Year!

Only our mechanics would take the red Christmas helicopter decoration at our base and paint it to match our aircraft… down to the details. 💚

If they care this much about a holiday decoration… imagine the pride they take in the machine that carries our crew & patients every day! We’re beyond lucky to have the best maintenance team in the business. ✨They keep us safe, airworthy… and apparently festive too. We’ll send an updated photo of the finished product once it’s out of the shop! 😉

Metro Aviation = unmatched. 🙌🚁🎄
