DALLAS —Humanitarian organization Operation Helo is partnering with Robinson Helicopter to enhance disaster relief efforts nationwide, it announced Tuesday at Verticon.
Founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Operation Helo emerged as a volunteer-driven initiative that mobilized helicopter owners and pilots to deliver lifesaving aid and conduct rescue missions in hard-hit communities across western North Carolina. Co-founders Matt McSwain and Eric Robinson built the organization on the belief that smaller helicopters, uniquely capable of reaching disaster-stricken areas, could be a critical tool in relief operations.
