I felt privileged to work at such an innovative place. Of course this was preopening and contracting but hey, I still thought it was cool!
Spectacular place where courses on Bell helicopters are taught
It was a great experience to visit the Bell Training Academy
A place unlike any other. I had lots of vending machines eat my money there but they have recently resolved the issue with a new snack system. I relish the daily challenge and the clean restrooms keep me coming back. Why is google asking me about this place? Don't go here if you don't have the credentials.
I once worked at Bell Helicopter close to Hurst Texas, from June to July of 1985 for a company called B&E Equipment, who was working for Thermal Equipment Corporation, as we were installing stainless steel liquid nitrogen lines for their on-site autoclaves. This was when carbon fiber material was just being introduced, as I had never heard of nor had seen it, as we had to run this piping across the top of what is known as 'clean rooms', so when we used scissor-lifts to lift our welding equipment up to weld these pipes together (and we were also on the scissor-lift as well), we were in these clean rooms, so I personally would get a first hand view of this material and got to talk with the people who were laying it out on the large tables. This plant was where they made the tilt-rotor helicopter that many of the offshore oil drilling platform companies would use to transport personnel to and from the oil rigs out in the Gulf of Mexico, as they could get there extremely fast and back again to land quicker than a regular helicopter could. It was a really nice place to work, as they had their own cafeteria on site, and the people who worked there were very friendly.
Would be great if the pilots who use the landing area off Hwy 10/Hurst Blvd would stop flying by 10:30 pm. March 10, 2020
Worked plt 2 for many years. Great people to work with!
Great facilities, knowledgeable staff, good training.
I'm sure it's five star but I actually didn't go there I only passed through there on my route to DFW
I really enjoyed the tour! Getting to see the technical/mechanical side of these machines was great. Only down side was no chopper ride! Surely the pilots need to get their hours in on a real machine!
Excellent Entertainment Academy with an impressive staff. Highly recommended
Great people, good education, good facilities, but as if they didn't give you a discount or limited choice from the gift shops against the money they received, it distorts the commercial dimension of the event.
My little artistic view was that the new logo represents a sword of honor, rotary wing or vanes, with diamond gem depicting purity, quality and ingenuity. Alas it is a dragon fly and u need to dig in and be amazed at the versatility, capability, strength of a dragon fly.
Any A&P wanting to get into the field EMS mechanics position. Come find me.
