Heavy and medium helicopter operator in Burleson, Texas, with Part 135 charter
Air Center Helicopters Inc. is a helicopter operator headquartered at Fort Worth Spinks Airport in Burleson, Texas. Its website gives 1986 as its founding year. A 2019 Vertical Magazine profile names Rod Tinney as founder and owner and says the company moved to the Fort Worth area in 1997.
Most of its work is government and specialist flying: expeditionary airlift, contingency support, U.S. Navy shipboard services, personnel recovery and search and rescue, MEDEVAC/CASEVAC, and fire and utility work. Vertical describes traditional Part 135 charter, external lift and aerial filming as part of its activities.
The company's website lists Airbus H225LP Super Puma, Airbus AS350B3E, Bell 412EP and Bell 206 series helicopters. It holds FAA Part 135 (with helicopter air ambulance, NVG, IFR and hazmat operations specifications), Part 133, Part 137 and Part 145 approvals. It is also a DoD CARB-approved air carrier and has Department of the Interior carded aircraft and crews.
For private flyers, it is mainly an option for heavy-lift or specialist helicopter charter rather than executive transport.
