Contract Pilot | Flight Paramedic
Hi, I’m Dustin — a flight paramedic, professional pilot, husband, and father. Aviation is more than a career for me; it’s a calling rooted in service, precision, and continuous growth.
In addition to my full-time role in air medical transport, I fly helicopters in support of law enforcement operations, offer contract pilot services, and enjoy recreational flying whenever I can. I’m committed to operating at the highest standards of safety, discipline, and professionalism.
Outside the cockpit, I’m married to my best friend and proud father to a daughter who keeps life fun and grounded. Fitness, resilience, and living fully are principles I carry both in the air and at home.

“Dustin Watkins is someone I give a firm recommendation for as a professional pilot. Dustin's attention to detail and safety, as well as pride in his flying, is something that will be an asset to any organization.
Under my instruction, Dustin's attention to detail and his passion for aviation made him an excellent student. He has a great attitude towards flying and aviation in general, as well as an eagerness to continue learning. Dustin has shown that he intends to do the right things for the right reasons. He has a solid understanding of the regulations under which he flys. He was very attentive, teachable and engaged in his flight training. Additionally, he has great risk management and flying skills.
Dustin will be a valuable addition to any flight department.”
