With 324 and 212 missions already flown this year, these crews are tackling tougher, remote rescues than ever before. Raise $100K to fund critical gear, training, and readiness. Last year’s $65K raised made a huge difference. Sign up at backtobase.co.nz and earn cool swag for hitting milestones. Stand with them—because every dollar means a life saved.
