Up in the Air with the JFS Group Home!

Friday, January 28, 2011
Last Sunday, the residents and staff of the JFS Group Home experienced a helicopter flight over downtown Denver! Regina, owner of the Rotors of the Rockies, generously donated helicopters and crew for a 30-minute flight over downtown Denver, City Park, the Denver Zoo, Cheeseman Park, INVESCO field, Coors field, Sloan’s Lake, and other well-known sites.

Here's what some of the residents had to say about the adventure!


Emily: “I can now die because I have flown in the clouds and I have conquered my fears.”


Lee: “I am flying like a bird, I hope that everyone is looking up so they can see me.” 


Laurie: “I want to thank them because I have always dreamed of flying in a helicopter. Now I can say I did it!”


Barbara: “I am going tell my brother and nephew about what I did. They are going to be so proud of me.”

Rotors of the Rockies regularly gives back to our community by donating free flight time for the handicapped and people in need in our community.  Andrew, one of the pilots, said, “I love being a pilot, but I love giving back to groups like yours even more.”


Mike Lobato, JFS Group Home manager, said, "They were very professional and caring when taking care of us from preflight to helping us in and out of the helicopters."


Thank you to Rotors of the Rockies for this wonderful opportunity!
