91 days to run to World Helicopter Day 2019!
Two goals:
1. Have you put Sunday 18 August in your calendar for World Helicopter Day 2019, and
2. Inspire you to start planning an event in your city or at your airfield.
This is the fifth year of the event! Once again this will be a chance for the helicopter world to celebrate the people that make up our industry, our collective achievements and importantly, an opportunity to bring the public up close to the wonderful machines we operate.
That so many venues return each year speaks to the fact that it is a fun day for all involved.
In past years we have had event nominations from:
* Alabama, USA
* Wevelgem, Belgium
* Balearic Islands, Spain
* Ramsgate, UK

Your event could be anything from a hangar open day, BBQ, guest speaker or training session, airshow, joy flights and right up to the harbour-side event in Hong Kong with marching band.
There is nil cost to be involved.
Your event gets world-wide exposure through the World Helicopter Day social media accounts and you are playing an important part in showcasing our industry to the world.
At the grassroots level your event could well be the first time someone in your local area ever gets to see a helicopter up close. It could be the experience that sets them down the path of a career in the helicopter industry.
To see some of the reach of the day look at the #worldhelicopterday hashtag usage on Instagram and Twitter. More photos from last year are located on the day's Facebook Page.
Resources such as event checklists, example press releases and graphics/banners are avaliable on the main website.
