Utah Helicopter student, pilots, and staff want to wish Owner / Pilot, Gary Hansen, a very
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
To celebrate, we had a fiesta and some cake...DIET cake of course since we are all watching our helicopter 'weight and balance!' Here are a few pics with Gary from last year.
Here's to MANY MORE incredible years!
We're glad you were born, Gary!
