On Saturday, 6 June, Henley Air proudly deployed five helicopters to Swartkop Air Force Base, including a Bell 206 LongRanger, two Bell 222s, and two Bell 230s.
The day was filled with excitement as our pilots and ROCKET aeromedics showcased the renowned ROCKET Mini Air Ambulance, engaging with aviation enthusiasts and supporters throughout the event. The Bell 230 also performed an impressive rescue demonstration, highlighting the capabilities and professionalism of our HEMS operations.
Adding to the spectacle, our iconic Checkers Sixty60-branded Bell 222 delivered a stunning flying display, expertly piloted by none other than our Executive Chairman, Andre Coetzee.
Meanwhile, visitors had the opportunity to experience the thrill of helicopter flight firsthand through our popular helicopter flips, conducted in the Bell 206 LongRanger and Bell 222 helicopters, creating unforgettable memories for many first-time flyers.
We are honoured to have been part of such a prestigious event and would like to thank everyone who visited, supported, and shared in the experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the next event!
