Storm Heliworks relies on the Robinson R44 for one of Sweden’s oldest traditions — reindeer herding for Sami communities.

The R44 is the ideal machine for the mission: quicker and more agile than other helicopters, it supports long days of locating herds and guiding them into corrals across vast northern landscapes.

The family-run operator also performs air ambulance flights, heliskiing support, and even flies Santa Claus each Christmas in Östersund.

Bell is proud announce that we have been selected to advance to the fourth phase of the @USArmy's Flight School Next Competition.

"From the very beginning, our team set out to deliver the most cost-effective and low-risk solution for the Army’s Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) program at Fort Rucker, leveraging Bell’s unique position as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and world leader in flight training. Making it to this stage proves that Bell’s solution is strong and we look forward to demonstrating our ability to execute," said John Novalis II, strategic director, Flight School Next, Bell.
