We had the pleasure to visit HeliMission in Switzerland and hear the amazing story by its founder, Ernie Tanner.

At the age of 43 he learned to fly, and with only 37 hours of solo flying experience, he was the first person to cross the Sahara in a piston helicopter when he flew for the first time to a mission in Cameroon. In 1971 he founded the Helimission Foundation and since then he has flown for many missionary projects and relief operations. Helimission is much like MAF (Mission Aviation F ellowship) except they only use helicopters. Today, the foundation operates 6 helicopters on several bases in various countries. 

Thank you Ernie and Heidi and team for an encouraging afternoon.
