It was a successful turnout at the Redlands Municipal Airport on May 16th, for the local Airfest put on by Hanger 24. Helicopter 305 was delighted to be invited and well received by the children as they realized the same helicopter (but 301) was modeled for the Disney movie Planes II: Fire & Rescue.
CAL FIRE Helicopter 305 will be on display at this years Hangar 24 Air Fest Show.
Come by and see us and enjoy a great day out with the family.
