Volo Mission

Volo Mission provides training, consulting and advisory services for the helicopter external load and aerial firefighting industry. Its main training base is a 100-acre site called The Ranch in Campbell, Texas, about 65 miles from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. A second training location is in North Bay, Ontario, Canada. The company also holds FAA Part 133 external load operator approval and draws on that experience in its consulting work.
