Welcome to Helicopter Foundation International, at the forefront of preserving the heritage and building the future of the civil helicopter industry. HFI is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, and we may be reached at 703-683-4646.

Our Mission: Preserve our heritage and build our future Founded in 1983, HFI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are dedicated to preserving the heritage of the helicopter and of the industry’s service to mankind, helping to educate future generations of helicopter professionals, and promoting the industry as an exciting career choice for young people. In so doing, we aim to perpetuate the contributions of vertical flight to the world.

HFI wishes to thank the Cold War Air Museum in Lancaster, the Collings Foundation in Houston, and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison for providing a Mil Mi-24, a Bell UH-1E, and a Bell H-13G, respectively, for display at this year’s convention. The three helicopters supplied by the three Texas aviation museums were a huge draw. If you were not able to make it to the Dallas show, you wont want to miss your next opportunity. HFI looks forward to an even more successful show in Las Vegas During HELI-EXPO 2013, and looks forward to working with these three museums in the future.  Please click here for more pictures.
