"Sterling Helicopter “got off the ground” in 1984, based on the vision of its Chairman Jack Brown, a pilot and aviation enthusiast. As Philadelphia’s only Heliport and Helicopter Repair Station, Sterling has built an excellent reputation offering professional helicopter services locally, nationally and internationally meeting the needs of municipalities, corporate executives and transient travelers alike. The Repair Station business outgrew the capacity of the Penn’s Landing heliport facilities and in 2006 the Croydon facility opened for business."
