Allentown, PA – Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority has announced that Vertivue, the area’s premiere helicopter operator, is ready to soar above the Lehigh Valley during “Wings and Wheels” Day at Queen City Airport on Saturday, August 20 (Rain date – Aug. 21). The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and admission to this family event is FREE.
Vertivue will provide the public this “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to enjoy a unique aerial experience from its sophisticated Enstrom turbine helicopter.
