The Teutuls were at Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA yesterday. I was driving across the tarmac at the heliport a little before 9:00 AM when I saw a crowd of camera and sound men rushing the landing pad. I turned and saw the O.C.C. helicopter touching down. I parked my truck at the hanger next door where I was working and walked over to see what was going on. Paul Sr., Paul Jr., and Mikey got out and walked by as I gave them a nod and a wave. I didn't even know they were coming. They played around in the flight simulators most of the day and held a small ceremony in the main hanger around 2:00 PM. I missed the ceremony because I was working inside the building next door. I came out just in time to see them getting back in the helicopter and take off. Can't wait to see that episode. Here are some local news clips.

That would be Jerry Airola, president and CEO of Silver State Helicopters ...
They, Silver State Helios, are headquartered in Las Vegas, NV and give lots of those 'air tours' of Hoover Dam, at the Grand Canyon and other local tourist areas.
They now have an office/location near the new OCC shop being built and were looking for a good way to introduce themselves to the 'locals' there.
That helicopter is not owned by OCC and can be charter by anyone - with the $$$ ...
A few quotes from Jerry:
"The one-of-a-kind helicopter will also be available to the public for commercial uses such as executive transport, charters and more."
" In exchange, the crew of the Orange County Choppers, Paul Sr., Paulie Jr. and Mikey Teutul, are creating and designing a custom-theme bike for Silver State Helicopters, which will be featured on an upcoming episode of their popular hit tv series "American Chopper". The motorcycle will be auctioned off with all proceeds being donated to the Children's Health Center at St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. "
