Kylle Fenton is an Air Crew Officer (ACO) involved in air rescue and ambulance operations supporting NSW, Australia communities. He is more accustomed to being the one to bring the resources, rescue and safety to others in “the worst day of their life”. In this episode Kylle tells a gripping story of when he and his family needed that rescue support returned during the flooding of the Township of Eugowra in Nov 2022.
This episode is being pushed out the door half cooked so that you can hear it sooner. Please forgive any short comings in the polish.
Before Kylle was part of the HEMS world he had years of experience as a Blackhawk loadmaster in the Australian Army with time in special operations and as a loadmaster instructor. We discuss this career path and the many, many tasks that a loadmaster can find themselves doing.

A great individual account of what the roles of a Blackhawk Loadmaster in 6 AVN REGT are and then the transition into civilian world of HEMS culminating in the events of the floods at Eugowra. Great to hear of about the different perspective into what it is like when someone who is used to doing the rescues now needs that help.
