SKY Helicopters of
Dallas will take delivery of the new R22 Beta II and R44 Raven II
on display at the Robinson Helicopter Company booth. Both aircraft
were flown in from the Robinson factory in Southern California for
Heli-Expo’06.
SKY Helicopters is the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) of the
Garland/DFW Heliport, Texas’ largest full-service public
heliport, and provides a full range of services including air taxi,
flight training, environmental reconnaissance, fuel sales,
maintenance, and aerial survey. SKY also owns and operates three
R44 Newscopters used by both local and national news
organizations.
In May 2005 SKY completed construction of new public terminal
and hangar buildings. The buildings, designed with features for a
highly visible city environment, include a 6,000 square-foot
terminal with conference rooms, a pilot lounge, and office space
for future tenants. The new hangar can house up to 40 helicopters.
The new R44 is SKY’s fifth 4-seat Robinson and was purchased
for use in their charter fleet.
The R22 Beta II will augment SKY’s current training fleet
of five R22s. Both aircraft have red pearl metallic/light bronze
pearl metallic paint and tan leather interior. The R22 has the King
KY197A radio, cabin heater/defogger, and engine priming system.
The R44 has the new air conditioning system, pilot-side console,
and Bose head sets. Established in 1992, SKY Helicopters is owned
and managed by Ken and Connie Pyatt. SKY is a Part 135 operator and
a Robinson authorized Dealer and Service Center for the R22 and R44
helicopters.
