Denton, TX School Now Has Five Helos

Schweizer Aircraft announced this week the delivery of a new 300C helicopter to Longhorn Helicopters, a Denton, TX flight training school. This new helicopter becomes the fifth Schweizer 300C in the Longhorn fleet.

Longhorn was established in 2001 and purchased its first Schweizer helicopter shortly thereafter.

"We are dedicated to providing the best training possible but are limited in size because instructors that meet our requirements are very hard to find," said Dale Williamson, Longhorn co-owner along with his wife Valerie, and Tandy Whitehead.

The 300C helicopter operates throughout the world in many demanding roles including law enforcement and military patrol, power line/pipeline patrol, commercial and military flight training, ranching, external load operations, animal surveys, aerial photography and personal transportation.

In addition to the 300C helicopter, Schweizer manufactures the model 300CBi and 333 helicopters, the Fire Scout VTUAV, the SA 2-37B and RU-38B surveillance airplanes, and a wide range of major airframe components under subcontract to the US aerospace industry. Schweizer sells and supports its aircraft through a worldwide network of sales and service centers.
