Northern Helicopters of Hibbing, Minnesota is partnered with Hibbing Community College to offer our students the ability to acquire a two year Associate of Applied Science Degree in Aviation along with earning the FAA ratings required to become a professional helicopter pilot.
Brian Johnson-CEO, states “Having this partnership with Hibbing Community College better prepares our students to enter the exciting world of professional aviation.”
Northern Helicopters was founded by Brian Johnson, a retired airline captain with United Airlines, in 2003 in Northern Minnesota. Brian recognized a niche in the market for the lack of helicopter training in the North Central region of the United States. With the continued success of the flight school the company has now been able to diversify into wild land fire fighting, power/pipeline patrols, aerial seeding, photo flights, air taxi and search and rescue.
