Helicopters Inc Donates Rotor Blade to PIA Pittsburgh

A huge thank you to Helicopters Inc. in Cahokia, Illinois, for donating a Jet Ranger 206B Rotor Blade.

This is what hands-on training is all about—building confidence, sharpening skills, and preparing for what’s next in the aviation industry.

Vantage Aviation delivered the rotor blade directly to campus and met a few eager students awaiting its arrival.

Thank you to Helicopters Inc. and Vantage Aviation for investing in our students and their future!
