February/March 2010 Issue
At 144 pages, our annual Heli-Expo issue is once again the biggest issue of the year, and our best issue yet. Terrific features, outstanding photography and new design have combined to make this an issue we’re particularly proud of.
For our cover story, contributing editor Dan Megna visited with Coulson Flying Tankers, which operates the mighty Martin Mars — the world’s largest amphibious water bomber — along with a high-tech partner, the Sikorsky S-76 “Firewatch.” Beginning on page 66, learn how Coulson is employing cutting-edge technology to improve mission efficiency and capabilities, getting results that are sparking significant interest among fire management officials.
Other features in this issue include:
- Brent Bergan’s feature on short-haul rescue in National Parks (p.100)
- Chris A. Neill’s profile on Maverick Helicopters (p.48)
- Craig Lunaas’ look at the success of the New York Airspace Task Force (p.92)
- Graham Lavery’s preview of helicopter ops at the Winter Olympics (p.42)
Plus Elan Head’s industry outlook (p.60), Bob Petite’s history of heli-logging (p.140) and a profile on Edwards & Associates and Aeronautical Accessories (p.80), as well as a redesigned RotorBeat section and all of our regular columns. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
