Vanguard Air Care
Spawned from Fast Air’s medevac branch in 2003, Vanguard Air Care serves rural communities across Manitoba and with medical air ambulance service on modified King Air 200 air ambulances. Vanguard currently has bases in Winnipeg, Norway House, Thompson, and Island Lake. Due to their close ties, it is not uncommon for pilots at Vanguard to transfer over to its parent company, Fast Air.
As part of the Manitoba Aviation Council (MAC) career fairs, trading cards branded with the Vanguard Air Care logo and aircraft were released in mid-2025. Intended as marketing for both aviation students and pilots, these cards share similar design to its counterparts made by MAC and larger dimensions than the average trading card, coming in at 9.2cm by 7.0cm. Hardshell top-loaders are recommended over card sleeves to ensure minimal damage when storing these cards.
