Girls on fires come to Snowy Monaro
November 25, 2024
Pays Helicopters, a branch of Touchdown Helicopters, was proud to participate in the Girls on Fire event, an inspiring initiative that encourages young girls to explore careers in firefighting and aviation. As a company committed to supporting the wider community, we believe it’s essential to show young people the exciting opportunities that exist in the aviation and emergency services industries. By participating in Girls on Fire, we had the chance to share our passion for helicopters and highlight the diverse range of careers available in these fields.
Our team was excited to engage with participants, sharing our knowledge and experiences with those eager to learn more. We demonstrated the capabilities of our helicopters, talked about the technical skills involved in flying and firefighting, and gave insight into what it’s like working in such a dynamic, high-stakes environment. The event provided a unique opportunity for girls to ask questions, learn hands-on skills, and discover how they can pursue their own career paths in aviation or firefighting.
Getting involved in events like Girls on Fire is not only about showcasing the work we do at Pays Helicopters; it’s about inspiring the next generation to break barriers and pursue their passions. It’s so important to encourage young girls to see themselves in roles that may traditionally be male-dominated and to realize that they have the potential to succeed in any field. We are proud to be part of a movement that promotes gender equality in aviation and emergency services and hope that our involvement continues to inspire future female pilots, engineers, and firefighters. At Pays Helicopters, we are committed to supporting the growth of young women in aviation and making the industry more accessible to everyone.

At Touchdown Helicopters, we are incredibly proud to have supported the Illawarra Convoy again in 2024, helping to raise much-needed funds for local families. Throughout the day, our team was out in full force, with four helicopters flying continuously through the day doing joy flights.
Our ground crew worked tirelessly alongside the pilots to ensure everything ran smoothly. From assisting with logistics to managing the on-the-ground support for the helicopters, our team was fully dedicated to making the day a success for Convoy.
Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the hard work of our crew. We are proud to announce that we helped raise an outstanding $36,051 for the Illawarra Convoy 2024 and this money will go directly to supporting local Illawarra families.
