Boston Helicopter - Year in Pictures

January 17th, 2010

With the close of 2009, we figured we would post some of the interesting pictures from our flight school this year. It was a great year with several students passing their checkrides, from private to CFI. We’ve flown with people of all levels, from beginner to seasoned military pilots. We’ve been all over the Northeast, from Maine to New Jersey with our students. We opened a second location in Alexandria Bay (Maxson airfield) in New York. We’ve been in the local papers, and also featured on AOPA 2 times in the past year. Here are some cool pictures from this year!

We’re also an authorized Robinson Helicopter Service and Overhaul center here at North Andover Flight Academy. We overhauled several helicopter in 2009. Here’s a picture from one of our days in the maintenance shop.

127 is one of our Robinson 22’s we use for the less glamorous duties of training new CFI’s. It will be due for an overhaul in a few hundred hours. We’ve flow this ship all over New England and New York doing multiple duties.

Our location in Maxson offers tours of the Thousand Islands area.
