We wanted to extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and crew members of Air Evac 62 Pilot Michael Atzert.

As many have already heard, Mike was in a tragic and fatal motor vehicle accident on his way to work this past week.

Mike was a very experienced pilot with 9 years served in the US Navy and 11 years serving our country as an Apache pilot in the United States Army. Mike then dedicated his life to serving our communities with well-over 1000 patient flights.

We send our love to Air Evac Lifeteam 62 - Bowling Green, KY, the crews that have flown with him over the years, and to his wife along with his 4 year old son Charles.
