A release from the company yesterday said that the team has commenced training with the primary role as Rear Crew to work as part of the team supporting the SAR Helicopter responding to emergency situations.
It said that the recruitment and selection process took place over several months with advertisements in the local media outlining the role and skills required. Curt Mendonca, Somant Heeralall, Daniel Yorris, Ishwar Parbhu, Kevin Sawh and Johnelle Ogle (first female) were successful and selected to be members of Guyana’s first ever civilian helicopter Search & Rescue team.
