Tyler Burrows began flying helicopters in 2005. After earning his certifications and building experience as a flight instructor, he moved to Alaska, where he honed his skills in the type of flying he is most passionate about. His focus has always been on utility, construction, mountain operations, and external load work. With a particular emphasis on external load operations, the K-MAX has long been the aircraft he aspired to fly. In 2014, he flew the K-MAX for the first time, and it has been his primary aircraft ever since. Tyler joined Mountain West Helicopters in 2021, drawn by a fleet and mission profile that align perfectly with his passion for the helicopter industry. He feels fortunate to be part of the Mountain West team and is committed to helping carry the company’s legacy into the future.
