A Boeing 727-200 that FedEx donated to the Airport Authority's Rocky Mountain Emergency Services Training Center in January of 2013 is moved to its new home at the training center, through a fence surrounded the Helena Regional Airport.
Local airport student firefighters now have easier access to an aircraft they already use for training purposes.
Helena Regional Airport officials relocated a FedEx 727 airplane today, from the southwest end of the airport, down to the Rocky Mountain Emergency Services Training Center. The training center's student firefighters use the airplane to develop familiarization with the mechanical layout and different compartments of aircraft. Training Center Coordinate Pete Hartman says in the long run, this will help the students enhance public safety.
"They've been using it now, and what we've been doing is busing people down to it. And now they'll just be able to walk out of the classroom and lower the doors, jump on it, and they'll be able to use it right away."
Airport officials took down a large portion of airport fencing this morning to create space for the airplane to go through.
