Making progress. We are getting inspections done on the helicopters and clearing out the hangar as we move to a new place.

We are moving forward.

Pictures. We are the middle hangar. We still cannot go into the hangar.

Somehow the letters to our sign stayed on.

Update is there is no update. I want to do my best to keep people informed even if there is no new news.

We are still waiting for the hangar to get inspected for safety so we can get inside. Once our hangar is inspected and safe for us to go in we can begin the clean up and inspect of the helicopters and the shop.

After that we can begin to establish how we move forward with the next step.

Good morning Suncoast.

The hangar is still standing. There was some hangar damage and it is messy but we may have got through this one as good as you can hope for really. Helicopters appear alright.

We will post more as we learn more with clean up and inspections.

We are obviously closed for the storm and it may be hard if not impossible to reach us by phone for a few days.

We do have one person that is randomly on a vacation at this time that will be able to check emails to our [email protected] address. I doubt I will be able to give anyone any new information, book flights or really do much at all, but that will be the best and maybe only way to reach us for a few days.

We will post updates as I get them.

Please be safe. Be smart. And take care of each other.

We are closed until after the storm. We will reopen as soon as time allows. Until then the staff here are hopping, wishing or praying for the best for you, us and the Suncoast.

I also ask that you be safe and be smart.

Great helicopter to learn to fly.

Flying a helicopter is an incredible feeling.

09/27/2024

By all indications everything at the hangar is okay. We will fly as soon as time allows.

Also, I ask that private pilots please stay on the ground. Let the emergency aircraft have the air. It's not the time to be a catastrophe tourist.

Thank you.
