We do get to do some cool stuff 😎 We have been asked about the connection between Vertical and Valor magazines on a few of our recent visits. Valor, formerly Vertical 911, focuses on the vital work of the military and parapublic helicopter sectors. Together, Vertical and Valor offer comprehensive coverage of the entire helicopter industry. 📹 @Lloyd H #Helicopter #Aviation #fyp #pilot #verticalmag #aviationlovers

Here’s a sneak peek from last week 👀 Our recent visit to the USAF Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) Combined Test Force (CTF) at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, offered a glimpse into their operations. The CTF plays a critical role in developing and testing tactics, techniques and procedures to maximize the effectiveness of the Guardian Angel Weapon System, the Sikorsky HH-60W helicopter “Jolly Green II” and Isolated Personnel combat capability. A huge thanks to everyone at the CSAR CTF for giving us such great access and to the 53rd Wing public affairs! 📹 @Lloyd H #USAF #CSAR #HH60 #TOML #Helicopter #Flying #Aviation #AviationLovers

This fleet of H160s is a thing of magic!   The 32F flotilla at the Lanvéoc-Poulmic French Naval Air Base is filling the gap between the withdrawal of the Alouette III helicopters and the arrival of the H160M Guépard Marine in 2029 with an interim fleet of Airbus H160 helicopters, used for public service missions.    Learn more from our feature story, “A high-class interim,” at verticalmag.com/valor 📸 @Anthony_pecchi   #airbushelicopters #AirbusH160 #RescueMissions #frenchnavy #verticalvalor

Annual S.T.E.P. Training with @lasvegashelitack S.T.E.P. (Single-Skid, Toe-In, and Hover Exit/Entry Procedures) is essential for quickly responding to wildland fires and evacuating injured or incapacitated firefighters. These procedures are especially useful in challenging terrain where the helicopter cannot fully place its skid tubes. S.T.E.P. enables more efficient and effective personnel insertion in difficult landing zones. 📽️: @xcopperkidx #LasVegasHelitack #Astar #H125 #airbushelicopters #verticalmag

Firehawk to the rescue!   Contour Helicopters, based in Langley, B.C., recently announced the arrival of their C-FHWK helicopter.   Once a Black Hawk, this impressive aircraft has been retrofitted with a 4500L belly tank, enabling it to deliver three times more water than the average bucket helicopter. Additionally, its advanced night vision cockpit allows wildfire support even after dark.   #aerialfirefighting #canadianwildfires #wildfireseason #verticalmag
