Two Organizations Announce Agreement During Heli-Expo
The EAA and the Helicopter Association International (HAI) have
renewed an agreement that assures the return of the popular
Heli-Center on the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh flightline in 2012 and
includes other support for this year’s 60th annual EAA fly-in
gathering, which will take place July 23-29.

EAA President/CEO Rod Hightower and HAI President Matt Zuccaro
signed the agreement Tuesday during HAI’s annual convention
in Dallas, Texas. HAI will again bring its two-story Heli-Center,
which showcases innovations in rotorcraft, to Oshkosh. It will also
sponsor one of AirVenture’s Forums Plaza buildings within the
area where tens of thousands of AirVenture visitors learn more
about all facets of aviation during more than 500 forums, seminars
and workshops.
“When it debuted in 2011, HAI’s Heli-Center
instantly became a prime destination on the AirVenture
grounds,” Hightower said. “HAI’s presence at
AirVenture widened the representation of the rotorcraft community
at Oshkosh and allowed our guests to discover more about this
important segment of general aviation.”
The Heli-Center was a hub of activity during EAA AirVenture 2011
and prompted HAI to plan for even more extensive programming and
exhibits this year. “If you’re involved in aviation,
you have to be at Oshkosh,” Zuccaro said. “HAI received
such a warm welcome and overwhelming positive feedback in our
inaugural effort in 2011 that it motivated us to make things even
better in 2012. We're proud to be part of AirVenture, which is
truly The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration.”
Along with the return of the Heli-Center, HAI’s
participation in AirVenture’s Forums Plaza will include
seminars specific devoted to rotorcraft safety and operations.
