Casey Campbell grew up in Colorado and was introduced to the helicopter industry through her experience as a wildland firefighter for the U.S. Forest Service - first as a Hotshot and then as a member of Central Oregon Rappellers. She brings over 15 years of risk-management and decision-making experience as a ski patroller and EMT, raft guide, and operations manager to her career in aviation. 

It wasn’t until she learned to fly paragliders and speed-wings in Montana, however, that she became enamored with aviation and decided to become a professional pilot. She completed her flight training at Jerry Trimble Helicopters in McMinnville, Oregon. She then worked as a CFII at both Jerry Trimble and Alyeska Helicopters before progressing to Part 135 tours. She is currently flying Bell 212s offshore and in the arctic for Hilcorp Alaska.

Casey has earned multiple scholarships through Vertical Aviation International, the Grand Dames of Aviation, and Whirly Girls for advanced flight training and leadership development. Outside of flying, she is pursuing a master’s degree in Mediation and Conflict Resolution and volunteers for youth mentorship programs. Her proudest personal achievement is completing a 400+ mile ultralight paragliding traverse across the Colorado Rockies.
