Aerial Search of Gabby Petito

Gabrielle Petito is a 22-year-old American woman from Suffolk County, New York, who was reported missing on September 11, 2021, while traveling across the United States with her fiancé. Her family lost contact with her in late August when she was in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Heli Aviation is a utility helicopter company with bases in Florida and Colorado. We’ve donated helicopters before to assist in the search of two missing teens Austin and Perry in Jupiter, FL back in 2015. We have the assets, experience and capabilities to donate helicopters for an aerial search in Wyoming and Florida and are asking for donations to cover fuel for our search efforts.
