Being a former flight medic, I know what helicopters do in saving lives. American Heroes is an air show at Hansen Dam. Join many of my friends as they show off their machines.
Since 1993, this admission-free event has been dedicated to the unique capabilities and dynamic role of helicopters in law enforcement, fire service, public safety, national defense and homeland security. With aircraft from local, regional, state and Federal / DOD agencies, guests are treated to an up-close look at why these aircraft and their crews are on the front line of public safety and community service.
Explore the evolution of helicopters from elegant lines of the U.S. Coast Guard HH-65 ”Dolphin” to the life-saving, Hi-Tech muscle of the S-70 "Firehawk" helicopter from Los Angeles CO. Fire Dept / Air Squad. It's a unique opportunity to learn why these aircraft are the first tool out of the toolbox in times of natural disaster or homeland security threats and why their crews are the Heroes your family can really look up to !
Plus, have your camera ready and introduce your entire crew to many of the Southland's most well known celebrity / media pilots and news reporters plus get an up-close look at the aircraft you see them in every day for traffic and news reports.
More than top gun, high-tech helicopters, the American Heroes event also features the CODE 3 Career Fair which brings together recruiting teams from public safety, government service, volunteer agencies and all military services to profile what they do and how you can be a part of the action.
The FIRST PROMISE- Family Preparedness Fair offers information and resources on emergency preparedness tactics for businesses and community plus family tips for Internet and identity safety from the F.B.I., the U.S. Secret Service and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Also on scene are many of the finest local Search & Rescue teams from mountain, urban, swiftwater, canine and Combat / SAR organizations. Check out technical rope rescue demos and learn how you can join the action as a reserve volunteer with a local Search & Rescue team.
The traditional collectible event trading cards are back and available free in limited quantities to early bird arrivals. Plus award presentations on stage, entertainment, concessions, exciting flight demos and much more.
