History of IASAR
Message from the President
A unique opportunity has come down the path of this Hoosier State. A group of volunteers have chosen to serve our country, our state and our community by participating in forming the first Indiana Air Search and Rescue Squadron.
We are a non-profit organization that is in the process of restoring a military aircraft that will be instrumental in fulfilling our goals and dreams.
Major organizations like Timken Alcor Aerospace, Overseas Aircraft Support of Arizona, Great Lakes Helicopter of Michigan and Hoosier Aircraft of Indianapolis (just to name a few) have partnered with us to assist in the restoration of our light utility helicopter.
The good lord willing, this will only be our first instrument of air relief, as we plan on expanding our air fleet to meet the needs of search and rescue and disaster relief in order to assist and help to secure the future our of country and our great State of Indiana, as well as our local community. IASAR will also participate in fly-ins to surrounding schools to help educate our children and young adults on the important roles our war bird played in the history of this great country. In addition, we will participate at Air Shows and Veterans's gatherings.
We already determined that our UH-1H Helicopter has been an instrument of healing for Vietnam and Gulf War Vets.
As the founder, I am proud to be a part of an organization that will be protecting, serving and educating the people of our Nation, this state and the City of Indianapolis and her surrounding cities and counties.

It all began with a little boy lying on his back in a grassy yard, watching jets from Grissom Air Force Base fly overhead. Living in a small town, this boy knew many of the Air Force pilot...click here to read full article
