Trivia:

While building his career as a film pilot, Alan learned that most aviation companies used outdated equipment and based their business on a small selection of rotorcraft. In response to this increasing need, Alan started West Coast Helicopters in 1987 and later merged it with Helinet Aviation, which he purchased in 1998. See more »
