RICK HOLBROOK

Rick Holbrook graduated from Helicopters Adventures in 1999. He now flies for Era Aviation.

"Era Helicopters is not only one of the best companies to work for, but it also offers a wide variety of flying such as Alaska tours, offshore support, fire fighting, medevac, and charter. Era also has a diverse fleet of helicopters including the AS350, BO105, Bell 212 and 412, S76, S61, A109, and the Super Puma. Nothing compares to flying in Alaska, whether it's landing on dog camp in the middle of a vast and pristine ice field or dropping off hikers on the Taku glacier for the "outback" tour. Alaska leaves passengers speechless and in awe as well as myself no matter how many times I see it. I also fly as an IFR co-pilot in the Bell 412 in both Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico supporting offshore oil platforms, as well as medevac flights to and from the rigs. My flying career has been the most rewarding experience of my life, and each year I build up more and more memories and adventures; I wouldn't trade it for anything."
