Silver State Helicopters school takes flight from Butte

Silver State Helicopters http://www.silverstatehelicopters.com/ , a flight school, has shut down its Butte operations and moved to Helena.

“They left about two months ago physically,” Rick Griffith, Bert Mooney Airport manager, said recently. Silver State leased space from the airport and Butte Aviation.

Griffith said Silver State shut down its Mining City fight academy “literally overnight.” “They just picked up their helicopters and went,” he said. “It was a surprise to us.” Griffith didn’t say how much the aviation company paid to lease airport land, but said Silver State is still paying rent on some parcels during the transition.
