Erickson’s Beginnings

In 1971, Erickson Lumber Company, owned by second-generation logger and entrepreneur Jack Erickson, leased an S-64E Skycrane helicopter from Sikorsky Aircraft and renamed the company Erickson Air-Crane™.

At that time, many small operations around the world were experimenting with helicopter logging with little success due to the high cost of supporting the aerial operation. Mr. Erickson realized the specialized nature of the S-64, and used his years of experience in the logging industry to optimize the heavy-lift helicopter for timber harvesting. His system proved profitable, leading to the purchase of the first S-64 in 1972, followed by the purchase of three more aircraft later that year. Erickson eventually purchased the S-64 Type Certificate from Sikorsky in 1992 and continues to manufacture and maintain the aircraft, since renamed as the Aircrane, from its facility in southern Oregon.

Erickson has innovated aerial service capabilities over the years, broadening the timber harvesting capabilities of the S-64 and expanding into firefighting, infrastructure support, powerline construction, oil and gas exploration, and the transport of people and product.

Multi-mission Milestones

Erickson has continued to demonstrate agility, reliability, and precision while working on challenging and noteworthy projects:

  • Since 1972, Erickson has constructed over 8,000 miles (12,875 kilometers) of electrical transmission towers across North America for utility companies including the Bonneville Power Administration, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Southern California Edison Company.
  • In 1975, Canron Steel Manufacturers of Canada contracted Erickson for assistance in construction of the world's tallest freestanding structure at the time, towering at an altitude of over 1,850 feet (564 meters). The Aircrane transported and placed the seven-ton steel sections that made up the antenna and weather metering systems, and brought the monumental two-year project to a successful close.
  • In 1983, U.S. Borax contracted Erickson to airlift large construction equipment for use in building a nine-mile (14.5-kilometer) access road in remote Quartz Hill, Alaska, for use in a molybdenum assessment project. The Aircrane transported 1,100 tons of heavy construction equipment and supplies over a four-day period, in what is believed to be the world’s largest civilian airlift operation at the time.
  • In 1992, Erickson developed a 2,650-gallon (~10,000-liter) tank attachment for the S-64, designed for fighting wildfires. It combined the carrying capacity of conventional fixed-wing aircraft with the maneuvering capability and precision drop patterns of a helicopter, delivering up to 30,000 (113,500 liters) of water, foam mix, or retardant an hour.
  • In 1993, Erickson contracted with the U.S. government to remove and replace the "Statue of Freedom," which sits atop the United States Capitol Dome in Washington D.C. The Aircrane lifted the statue off its pedestal on May 9, 1993 and placed it safely back after much needed renovation on October 23, 1993.
  • In 2000, the Korea Forest Service (KFS) purchased an S-64E Helitanker for fire suppression duty protecting forestland surrounding the country’s most valued religious shrines. KFS went on to purchase three more S-64s.
  • In late 2001, a series a bushfires sprang up around Sydney, Australia, threatening lives and homes in the urban interface. An Erickson Helitanker named “Elvis” was one of the first and largest water dropping helicopters called in to fight the fires. After helping to save 1,500 homes and the lives of 14 firefighters, Elvis became a national celebrity.
  • In 2003, the State Forestry Corps of Italy (Corpo Forestale Dello Stato or “CFS”) signed a $95 million purchase agreement with Erickson to obtain four S-64 Helitankers, along with a substantial spare parts, support, and training package.
  • In 2006, Erickson partnered with Vestas Wind Systems to construct twelve new V90-3.0 three-megawatt wind turbine generators on windy ridge tops near the mountain village of Ricigliano, southeast of Salerno, Italy. An S-64 delivered 39 blades, each measuring 144 feet (44 meters) and weighing 15,800 pounds (7,110 kg), from a staging yard – inaccessible by truck – nine miles away.
  • In 2007, four Erickson S-64E Helitankers were flying for the Greek Ministry of Public Order when a series of fires sprang up around across Greece. Flying up to 11 hours a day, as far north as the Albanian border and as far south as the Peloponnese, the four Helitankers dropped close to four million gallons (15.2 million liters) of water on fires in just a week to fight the blazes.
  • In 2009, Erickson moved its global headquarters to Portland, Oregon with manufacturing, maintenance repair and overhaul, parts supply, and engineering facilities remaining in Central Point, Oregon.
  • Also in 2009, Erickson was awarded AS9100 certification, a worldwide business management standard with a focus on aerospace and aviation. The certification allows Erickson to perform new and expanded work for major aerospace suppliers such as Sikorsky, Bell, and Agusta, among many others.

Growing Through Acquisitions

In 2013, Erickson acquired McMinnville, Oregon-based Evergreen Helicopters and Brazilian oil and gas company Air Amazonia, a subsidiary of HRT.

Now operating as Erickson subsidiaries Erickson Helicopters and Erickson Transport, Evergreen has been a pioneer in aviation since 1960, flying their fleet of helicopters for customers in a diverse range of industries, including construction and heavy lift, disaster relief, forestry, government, law enforcement, military logistics, search and rescue, and other critical tasks. These Commercial Airlift Review Board (CARB)-approved helicopters and fixed wing aircraft operate from a global network of bases, performing demanding work in some of the most austere and remote environments in the world, including the heat and elevation of Afghanistan, isolated islands of the Southern Philippines, and the most inaccessible parts of the African continent.

Air Amazonia, formerly the aviation services division of HRT Participações em Petróleo S.A., is an established South American operator. This strategic acquisition further broadens Erickson’s rapidly expanding global footprint. In conjunction with the acquisition of Air Amazonia, Erickson entered into a five-year aerial services contract (including annual renewal options) with HRT to provide rotary-wing aircraft services to support their oil and gas activities in the Solimoes region of Brazil, strengthening Erickson’s position as a key partner for a growing number of customers throughout this important and fast growing region for the oil and gas industry.

What’s Next

These acquisitions helped significantly expand the depth and breadth of services Erickson is able to provide to customers both in the United States and internationally.

Erickson now boasts a fleet of nearly 100 aircraft, and offers services, training, and support in many industries, including firefighting, construction, timber harvesting, crewing, oil and gas exploration, manufacturing, passenger and cargo transport, support of defense operations, MEDEVAC, and more.

FLEET:

Erickson S-64E Aircrane and Erickson S-64F Aircrane

The S-64 Aircrane is manufactured and maintained in Central Point, Oregon by Erickson.

 

The helicopter was originally manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft as the S-64A Skycrane, and sold to the Army as the CH-54A Tarhe. The CH-54 performed with an outstanding service record in Vietnam, supporting the Army's First Cavalry Division, Airmobile by retrieving over 380 damaged aircraft, saving an estimated $210 million. The S-64 was the first helicopter built as a flying crane, with an aft-facing pilot station that gives the pilot an unobstructed view of the load being carried and full positive control of the aircraft during precision operations.

The rotor system consists of a six-blade, fully articulated main rotor and a four-blade tail rotor. The S-64E is powered by two Pratt & Whitney turbine engines, for which Erickson obtained the Type Certificate in 2013, generating a combined maximum takeoff rating of 9,000 SHP and giving the S-64E model an external load lift capacity of 20,000 pounds (9,072 kg) at sea level. The S-64F features a strengthened airframe, a rotor system with longer chord length, and two Pratt & Whitney engines rated at 9,600 SHP, which gives the S-64F model an external load capacity of 25,000 pounds (11,340 kg) at sea level.
