Project: Rescue Flight
updated: Feb 25, 2012, 9:15 AM
Project: Rescue Flight is a 501c3 Non-Profit organization that was set up in 2001 for the
primary purpose of raising funds for the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Departments
Aviation Unit.
Since 2001 Project: Rescue Flight has raised $1.8 million dollars and has completely
refurbished Copter 3 a 1966 Vietnam era Bell Huey helicopter. Copter 3 has been
completely modernized to civilian standards. The aircraft has also been upgraded to
become what is known as a "Super Huey". Copter 3 will be used for Search & Rescue,
Fire Fighting, Homeland Security, Medical transports and Drug eradication missions.
Project: Rescue Flight is also raising funds for Copter 4 a Twin Engine Huey and is
upgrading this aircraft with all modern equipment as well. Copter 4 will be used to
perform the same missions as Copter 3 as well as being the primary aircraft for off-shore
rescues and Channel Island responses.
Project: Rescue Flight is dedicated to continue fund raising for the purpose of
maintaining and equipping the units' aircraft to provide the best service to the citizens of
Santa Barbara County.
Project: Rescue Flight also has a Face book page. You can view all aircraft and missions
the unit flies. Visit us at www.ProjectRescueFlight.org
