Portland, Oregon (March 1, 2019) – The Helicopter Association International (HAI) has awarded Oliver Johnson, Editor-in-Chief of Vertical Magazine, the 2019 Excellence in Communications Award sponsored by Lightspeed Aviation. One of the “Salute to Excellence” awards to be presented during a luncheon at HAI Heli Expo next week, the Lightspeed Aviation Excellence in Communications award recognizes the individual or organization who achieves the most creative and distinct dissemination of information about the helicopter industry.
