that you cannot accomplish your dream. I have been told more than a few times in my life that I couldn’t accomplish something, only to prove them wrong. If you have a goal and want it badly enough, you will attain it.
AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?
As a pilot I would want my peers to
say, “Randy Mains was one of the best. He was safe and he always taught by example. I’d fl y with him any day!”
As a writer, I would hope I entertained
as well as educated the reader. And through some of my writing where I addressed the terrible HEMS accident rate in America and off ered my solution on how to fi x the problem, I would hope lives were saved.
As an activist for change, I hope that
I’ll be remembered as someone who dared to speak the truth, focusing on what was right, not who was right. I would want to be remembered as a man who wasn’t afraid to stand up and holler out to the FAA, or to the NTSB, or even to Congress that the emperor wasn’t wearing any clothes. My quest was to try to save lives in a very dangerous segment of aviation – HEMS in America. I hope I would be remembered for being the voice of the voiceless, those who lost their life in an air medical helicopter who can no longer speak for themselves. I would hope I had a hand in making fl ying in an air medical
helicopter safer in the future, because I didn’t shy away from speaking out for fear of ridicule, reprisal or retribution.
As a human being, I would want people to say that Randy Mains made a diff erence in their life by inspiring them to follow their heart, and that had helped them attain their dream.
Randy Mains is an author, public speaker, and a CRM/AMRM consultant who works in the helicopter industry after a long career of aviation adventure. He currently serves as chief CRM/AMRM instructor for Oregon Areo.
