About Justhelicopters.com

NOVEMBER 9, 2009 - Rotorcraft Pro Magazine, Justhelicopters.com, Justhelicopters.TV and VerticalReference.com merged forces to create a new strategic media partnership called Rotorcraft Pro Media Network (RPMN). Audiences and advertisers alike will have unparalleled access to a broad range of media content to include print, e-news, video, audio, web, and social networking, all aimed at connecting the helicopter industry in new ways.

HISTORY - JustHelicopters.com was created in 1998 by retired helicopter pilot Bill Kellogg as a small FREE ACCESS web information center and a place to exchange ideas for people that were into helicopters. Lyn Burks took over the website in 2001. Since then, it has become the Leading Online Resource for the Helicopter Industry and has remained a FREE ACCESS site with no membership fees!
