Welcome to The Helicopter Podcast, brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS!
In this episode of The Helicopter Podcast, host Halsey Schider talks with Taylor English of English Air Service, a family-run helicopter operation founded in 1986 by Taylor's father. Taylor traces the company’s evolution from agricultural crop dusting to cutting-edge light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and utility services, showcasing helicopters’ vital role in agriculture and beyond. She emphasizes the strong safety culture built through regular training and the family values that drive their operations. As a woman in a male-dominated field, Taylor shares her journey and challenges, alongside the growing role of her daughters in aviation. The discussion also explores how technologies like LIDAR enhance efficiency and safety. Join Halsey and Taylor for an engaging look at English Air Service’s impact and aviation’s future.
