Be a high flyer - support Midlands Air Ambulance Charity!
Your chosen name can fly alongside our crew on our brand new H145 helicopter, G-HMAA.
For a £150 donation, your name will be featured as one of 1,600 names forming the iconic chevrons on the underside of our brand-new H145 helicopter. These chevrons will be visible to countless individuals across our operational areas, symbolising the community spirit and generosity that fuels our lifesaving missions.
You can choose your name, a loved one’s name, a community group, or anyone special to you, to take flight in this remarkable way. Every name represents a story, a tribute, and a profound connection to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s lifesaving mission across our six county operating region of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, and Worcestershire.

Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs are subject to the High Flyers Terms and Conditions.
If I add more than one name, will they appear next to each other on the helicopter?
To ensure ease of finding a name on the chevrons, they will be applied in groups of 400, starting with the first 400 names submitted being applied to the first chevron. Each group will be displayed alphabetically by first letter, so those submitted at the same time will be unlikely to appear together.
How will the name appear on the helicopter?
Names will featured within the four chevrons on the underside of the helicopter. All names will be uniform in font and size.
What can and can’t be included in the name?
Submitted names must not exceed 30 characters, including spaces. This includes both the name itself and any titles (e.g., Captain, Dr., Lady) or post-nominal letters. Names can include formal titles (e.g., Dr., Mr., Captain) or informal versions of names (e.g., nicknames). Names can also be a collective family name or submitted as a combined couple (e.g., The Jones Family, Mr & Mrs Jones, Arthur & Ann Jones). Two separate full names will not be accepted (e.g., Arthur Jones & Ann Smith). Names must not contain emojis, special characters, or any discriminatory or offensive language. Business names are unable to be submitted for High Flyers.
Whose name can be added to the helicopter?
You can add:
- Your name
- Your family’s name (e.g. The Jones Family)
- The name of a loved one, friend or relative
- The name of someone who has passed away
- The name of someone as a gift e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Christmas
- The name of a community group
What will I receive following a £150 donation to High Flyers?
As well as the name of your choice within the chevrons on the base of our new H145 helicopter, G-HMAA, you will also receive:
- A personalised certificate with your chosen name (one per name submitted)
- A limited edition, commemorative coin in a presentation card (one per name submitted)
- Regular updates from Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
- An online link to see your chosen name included in the chevrons on the helicopter, once the names have been applied to the helicopter at the close of the campaign
We will post certificates and commemorative coins within 15 working days of names being submitted.
Will I be able to see the helicopter?
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that you will be able to visit the helicopter by submitting a name. Please do not arrive at one of our airbases hoping to see the helicopter, as it may be out on a lifesaving mission at any time, however we will notify you when charity events are taking place where G-HMAA will be on show.
Why is there a minimum donation of £150 to have my chosen name on the helicopter?
The minimum donation is based on the cost of adding names to the helicopter’s chevrons, in addition to ensuring that Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is able to raise significant lifesaving funds via the High Flyers campaign. Any additional donations on top of the £150 minimum donation are gratefully received.
What will my donation pay for?
Your donation will go towards funding future lifesaving missions across Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s six county operating region of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands, and Worcestershire, via our three air ambulance helicopters and fleet of critical care cars. Your donation will give those in their hour of need the very best chance of survival and recovery.
How long will my chosen name remain on the helicopter?
High Flyers can be submitted until all 1,600 name spaces have been allocated. Names will be applied in groups of 400, starting with the first 400 names submitted on the first chevron, and continuing sequentially. Once all 1,600 submitted names are in place on our brand new H145 helicopter, G-HMAA, they will remain there for a minimum of four years. After the four years, we will contact you to see whether you would like to renew your chosen name as a High Flyer.
Have the names from chevrons 1 and 2 been printed?
Yes! We’re delighted to confirm that the names in chevrons 1 and 2 have now been printed. Supporters whose names are included in these chevrons have been contacted by email, with details on how to download an image of their name.
If you haven’t received your email, please contact our Supporter Care Team for assistance, by calling 0800 8 40 20 40 or emailing [email protected]
When will chevron 3 be printed?
Chevron 3 is now full! Thank you to everyone who has supported our High Flyers campaign.
The names in chevrons 3 and 4 will be printed together once all 400 name spaces on chevron 4 are filled. We’ll keep supporters updated as we reach this next milestone.
When will my name appear on the helicopter?
All High Flyers orders placed before 24th November 2025 have now had their names added to the helicopter.
For orders placed on or after 25th November 2025, names will be added once all 400 name spaces on chevron 4 are filled, and we’ll contact supporters in due course with a further update.
Thank you for your patience and for helping us keep our lifesaving missions flying. Every name represents someone making a difference to our charity and the communities we serve.
