Anaheim Is The Place To Be For Whirlybird Enthusiasts
We're just days away from the start of Heli-Expo 2009, the
latest iteration of the world's largest helicopter gathering
dedicated to the international helicopter community. This year's
event will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA
starting Sunday, February 22 through Tuesday, February 24.
Helicopter Association International, organizers of the
three-day event, says this year's show promises to be another big
one. Last year 17,373 aviation professionals and exhibiting
companies were treated to the latest avionics, accessories,
components, and other related products. This year, Heli-Expo will
feature a record number 583 exhibitors, including 88 first-time
exhibitors, and 73 helicopters are scheduled to be on the show
floor.
Heli-Expo 2009 will open on Sunday with the Annual General
Membership Meeting and Breakfast, where HAI President Matt Zuccaro
and Chairman Patrick Corr will deliver their remarks. The opening
ceremony begins promptly at 10:45 am.
Other scheduled HAI events include the Membership Reception; the
Job Fair, with companies from around the world seeking to fill
positions on the spot; and the annual "Salute to Excellence" Awards
Banquet, which will be held on February 23 at 8:00 pm. In addition,
Helicopter Foundation International will offer a number of
educational courses on days before and after the show.
On-line registration is still open at the first FMI link below.
