Inspirational Lift: Jamie Collazo
She’s no longer a helicopter pilot at the moment but Jamie Collazo is the perfect example of someone that followed the dream of flying helicopters – and worked hard to do it.

If the name rings a bell, it should. Jeff is one of the writers here at HeliSimmer.com. A great writer, that ended up as a Military Pilot. And one that I am lucky to call a virtual friend.

A sort of a YouTube star, Mischa Gelb, known by the community as Pilot Yellow, quickly became one of the favorite helicopter pilots on the internet.
Inspirational lift: Claude Vuichard
Claude Vuichard is one a names that pretty much everyone in the helicopter industry recognizes, with an amazing career and over 16,000 hours in the skies.
