This year’s annual appeal will focus on Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). While we are extremely proud of our safety record, we feel very strongly that we need to give our crews every tool to carry out their missions in the safest manner possible. NVGs will help our pilots and medical crews at night as they identify rural landing sites and avoid obstacles. We still won’t fly if it isn’t safe, but NVGs will help us deal with variables during a mission. What are Night Vision Goggles and how do they work? Why do we need them and how will our crews benefit? What do our pilots think? What is involved in establishing a night vision goggle program and how much will it cost?
We're glad you asked...
