VFS recognized two sites at Forum 81 as Vertical Flight Heritage Sites. One was Penfield Reef off the coast of Fairfield, Connecticut. This was the site of the world’s first helicopter hoist rescue in 1945, proving the helicopter’s life-saving potential and helping to establish its role in modern search and rescue. The award was presented by VFS Chair of the Board Harry Nahatis (left) and accepted by Stephen Mendrzychowski, Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Co., at the Forum 81 Grand Awards Banquet on Thursday, May 22, 2025. Forum 81 took place in Virginia Beach, Virginia, May 20–22, 2025. (Photo by Warren Liebmann CC BY-SA 4.0)
