the full transcript for this page's audio narrative.
Perhaps no other helicopter company in Hawaii is steeped in the
history of helicopters, helicopter design and production as is Alex Air.
Steve and Shelly Alexander are the owners of Alex Air which is the oldest
existing helicopter company on Maui dating back to 1984, but the origins
of the company go back much further than that. Steve’s father Eli
worked for over 30 years for the Hughes Tool Company aircraft division
and was often a companion of Howard Hughes. He assisted in the
development of the “Flying Boat” or “Spruce Goose” as
it became to be known, the Hughes 300 and later became the project engineer
for the development of the famous Hughes 500 aircraft. Intermittently
he also worked for NASA on the Apollo Moon shot project. Meanwhile
Steve, also began working for Hughes and became known as the wiz-kid
of helicopter electrical systems.
In 1971 the father and son team started up their own aviation
business called Alex Air, in Torrence California. By the mid 80’s
Steve and Shelly were ready to make the shift to the island of Maui and
begin giving island tours. The rest is history. Decades later
they are still here sharing their experience and love of the islands
with our island visitors. |
