Be sure to check out our founder, Nicole Battjes’ article in September’s Rotor magazine by HAI Heli-Expo-Vertical Aviation is Vital!

“The many disaster relief and humanitarian assistance missions that our industry undertakes demonstrate what vertical aviation achieves for our communities. While I’m very proud to be a small-business owner, a vertical aviation operation is not just any business. We are a vital part of our communities’ disaster preparedness infrastructure. In times of crisis, we provide emergency services as well as rapid, on-demand vertical lift solutions.”
