As an emergency and trauma physician with 25 years of experience, 10 years on a helicopter, and as an instrument rated and high-performance certified pilot.

Whether military or civilian trained, I do not believe I have ever experienced the level of professionalism, safety, security and calm exhibited by the pilots and crew of Black Wolf helicopters.

Even the level of administrative cooperation with military, government and NGOs was unprecedented, as was the level of mutual respect between those groups.

I hope that needs like this will no longer occur, but they will. And if I am ever in the fortunate position to do this anywhere in the world, and I can hand-pick my crew, I already know who I want.
