Resource Hub One of the nation’s leading helicopter sales and support companies has recently put final touches on a new aircraft completion for East Flagler Mosquito Control District (EFMCD) in Florida. Helicopter Services Inc. (HSI) of Spring, Texas, announced delivery of the custom configured Airbus H125 helicopter, which HSI will celebrate during the Airborne Public Safety Association’s APSCON 2024 conference and trade show. The new aerial application platform represents a key upgrade in capabilities from EFMCD’s legacy aircraft and will enhance the agency’s mission protecting residents in Flagler County from the dangers brought by mosquito borne diseases. “HSI greatly appreciates East Flagler Mosquito Control District’s decision to choose our experienced team for completion of their new H125,” said HSI general manager Mike Crossland. “This aircraft represents a wonderful capability upgrade for that fine program.” Several aerial mosquito control agencies have chosen HSI for turn-key services on new Airbus aircraft. Airborne public safety agencies and private owners alike rely on the company. In an industry-leading move, HSI continues to offer its Airbus aircraft acquisition and completions via the GSA marketplace, notably the only company on GSA focused solely on the helicopter industry. Key equipment for this new completion included installing an Isolair aerial spray system, Garmin G500 and a REBTECH NVG package among several other mission critical items. Focusing on each customer’s mission needs, HSI leverages four decades of experience installing the most popular airborne components. “We continue to fine tune avionics packages and other components that operators truly benefit from,” added Crossland. HSI technicians have years of background with components from Isolair, Goodrich Hoist, Wescam, MX-10, AEM Geneva Panel, Shot Over, ARS, SpectroLab, Illuminator and Trakka searchlights. “We enable clients to maximize effective use of their taxpayers’ dollars via our ‘helicopters only’ approach; our efforts continue fully focused on rotorcraft,” added Robin Crossland.
