Billie Mooreโ€™s first NZ Flying Doctor flight came Billie Mooreโ€™s first NZ Flying Doctor flight came after her waters broke when she was 31 weeks pregnant. Despite her fear of flying, she crossed the Alps and welcomed son Ridge a week later.
 
A year on, the service helped bring two-week-old daughter Sadie home to Blackball.
 
Just a week later, Ridge became critically unwell and needed to get to Christchurch Hospital urgently. Billie recalls that next flight was the hardest of all.

Keeping what is essentially three flying ICU units in the air is not easy. It takes a committed, passionate team and the generosity of a community. This is the difference that together, we have made.
Have you been thinking about writing a will? Getti Have you been thinking about writing a will? Getting started can be the hardest part.

Our Fundraising Director Kathryn Marshall recently had a chance conversation which made her realise it isn't the big questions that leave people overwhelmed about writing a will - it's how to start the process of answering them.

So, Kathryn has penned this article, which she hopes can help start one of life's most important conversations. To read her article see link in bio.

For Rachael, who lives in Koromiko near Picton, she never imagined she'd end up at Wellington Hospital having brain surgery.

She initially thought her pain was just a headache, but when it didn't go away a CT scan was ordered, revealing a substantial aneurysm in her brain.

After her surgery, Rachael was anxious to get home. The New Zealand Flying Doctor Service got her there.

Most memorable day at work?

โ€œWe were landing in Christchurch one day when a light aircraft that had just taken off declared an emergency. The pilot thought the person next to him was having a heart attack. The nurse in the back of our plane offered to assist.

โ€œWe both landed, and when the nurse went to help, he realised the person was actually having a seizure. He assisted until the ambulance arrived. It was pretty cool โ€“ we were coming to pick up a patient, but we got to help someone else along the way.โ€

Rachel is looking forward to her next challenge: flying the Dash 8-Q300 for Air New Zealand.

โ€œMy sister is a pilot on the Air NZ 787, and my dream is to fly with her one day. Iโ€™m excited to be taking a step closer to achieving that goal.โ€

@airnz โ€” youโ€™ve got a good one here. We canโ€™t wait to see Rachel and her sister in the cockpit together one day!

Two NZ Flying Doctor flights and a Westpac Rescue Two NZ Flying Doctor flights and a Westpac Rescue Helicopter ride - these little girls have had a tough start to life.

Lilly and Penny Eades were born prematurely in Dunedin Hospital. Mum Sarah was flown there by the NZ Flying Doctor Service as there was no room in Christchurch's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The family eventually got back to Christchurch - with twin Lilly flown on the Westpac Rescue Helicopter and sister Penny on the NZ Flying Doctor Service two weeks later.

An enormous thank you to the Waimea Plains Retirem An enormous thank you to the Waimea Plains Retirement Village in Nelson for organising a fundraising evening for the NZ Flying Doctor Service.

It was a very successful evening for all involved, with a generous donation coming to the Trust as a result.

The NZ Flying Doctor Service transferred 1402 patients in 2025 with 811 of those flights using the Service's Nelson-based plane.

It's support like this that helps us keep this 24/7 mobile intensive care unit flying. Thank you.
