About the Nonprofit
Visit Our Website
We are an organization that represents all sections of public safety aviation. We represent Air Medical Crews, Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, Firefighting Aviation, and Military Personnel. Every Coast Helicopter Operations was initially founded to create joint training for multiple organizations in our field. E.C.H.O. has evolved beyond just training to helping the families of our fallen comrades, helping with mental health care for anyone in public safety aviation, and mentoring future flight crew members. Please feel free to look us up on the web at www.echoflightcrew.org. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization. Our tax ID Number is 82-4726594.
The beauty of our organization is that it was never set up to make money. Profits do not exist, and all our staff is 100% volunteer. All money from vendors and donations given to the group are placed right back into hosting a conference or providing more educational opportunities for its members. We have no dues or fees and provide real-world quality education for flight crews on the front lines daily.
Public safety aviation crew members work in an extremely hazardous environment. They respond to high-stress situations and provide critical care to patients. The physical and mental stress can take a toll on the aviation crews and their families. Our Flight Assistance Support Team (F.A.S.T.) is the only deployable public safety aviation peer support team in the US that will respond when a crew experiences a helicopter crash. The F.A.S.T. provides support for crew members, families, and programs amid catastrophes.
