Images of helicopters inside the Anaheim Convention center at HELI-EXPO

A view of one corner of HELI-EXPO 2020 at Anaheim.

As the Helicopter Association International HELI-EXPO in Anaheim, California closes today, I have assembled a couple of dozen images from the event. There were over 60 helicopters inside the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California and about 700 exhibitors. Needless to say, it was massive. On opening day Tuesday I logged almost 14,000 steps on my iWatch.

To see photos of helicopters during the fly-in as they landed in a parking lot outside the Convention Center, click here.

CAL FIRE’s new Firehawk, Helicopter 903.

Eurocopter Super Puma AS 332L registered to Horizon Helicopters in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

HP Helicopters’ Blackhawk appears to have a scooping system in addition to a conventional hover-fill snorkel hose. The version used on the Erickson Air-Crane is called a “scoop hydrofoil attachment”.

Sikorsky honored the chiefs of three fire departments whose organizations are operating Firehawks.

These dogs were receiving a lot of attention, and vice versa.

I asked an Erickson representative why they didn’t have one of their Air-Cranes on display. He said they’d rather have it out working on a fire.
