This is the 6th year of the Day.
We had 24 events on the same day last year celebrating helicopters and the people in the industry.
Generally it is an Open Hangar day or morning to invite members of the public in to look around and find out more about what we do.
Taking part is a very easy PR win for local media attention and to be included in the international coverage.
Twitter (Facebook/Instagram) search on #worldhelicopterday gives you an idea of the reach

There is nil cost to have you event listed on the schedule other than any local event hosting cost at your end (Facepainter, loud speakers, bouncy castle etc if you want to go that far). Happy to share our experiences from the previous Brisbane events with 1000+ visitors.

It would be awesome to have a large Australian representation of events and beat out the yanks and poms.

2020 will be a very subdued year for World Helicopter Day.
The Brisbane event has been cancelled and I'm not aware of any others happening in Oz.
Inviting the public into company hangars is not going to be high on the priority list in most locations at the moment.
If you want to make some noise next Sunday, 16th Aug on social, tag your posts/images with #worldhelicopterday to promote the industry as we wait for better times.

Will be a very quiet one it seems.
It’s a shame I was hoping to be in QLD this year for it.
Just another thing that gets moved to a future date.
