🚁✨ Exciting day for the team as we were treated with an amazing tour of the Richland Airport!

We had an incredible experience exploring the impressive Fire Boss planes and the firefighting helicopter that play a crucial role in our community’s safety.🔥

The Richland Airport is home to firefighting aircraft teams throughout the fire season and they travel throughout the region protecting our communities.

Our visit also included a look at the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) facilities, where we learned about the vital services they provide to pilots and travelers. We also took a trip back in time to the old control tower, which gave us a unique perspective on the airport’s history.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to learn more about the aviation operations that keep our community safe.
