Happy World Helicopter Day 🚁

24/05/2023

May 24th is Aviation Maintenance Technician Day, a day of recognition of the efforts of aviation maintenance professionals nationwide. It is celebrated on Charles Taylor’s birthday, the man who built the engine used to power the airplane flown by the Wrights Brothers.

NSB SAR would like to express our utmost appreciation for our maintenance team and their dedication to the safety of our fleet. Our aircraft cannot fly without them!

Below is a picture of one of our long time mechanics, Richard Lord, hard at work.
