A Message from

We believe in the importance of supporting the helicopter community and encouraging the use of helicopters in a variety of operations. This photo contest is an opportunity to share exciting images of helicopters in action with a worldwide audience and to make people aware of what can be accomplished with vertical flight. Sponsoring this contest enables Hillsboro Aviation to continue our 31-year commitment to supporting this industry.
