March 6, 2023 – Pilots from Semper Fly Helicopter Tours, a woman and veteran owned business, stopped by the KSST Studios for an interview on Monday. Brandi Rector and Mike Sanford own and operate several flight related businesses that are based in Southern Oklahoma. They are both veterans of the armed forces. More details on their individual services in the armed forces are available on their website.
Bob Kerr, Judge Advocate of the Hopkins County Marine Corp League, recently took advantage of their services. Because Bob is a veteran, he received a discount. Kerr, who also does KSST’s Veteran Voices program each Monday morning, enjoyed his flight so much, he wanted to help spread the word.
Brandi Rector, pictured above, wants to welcome everyone, especially veterans, to join her in the air. Semper fly tries to accommodate special requests such as high altitude marriage proposals and airtours of real estate for potential buyers and sellers.
Brandi and Mike’s business is also expanding. Helicopter based skydiving is coming soon. They operate out of Mc Curtain County Regional Airport near Idabel, Ok. They own a hanger there, and currently have two helicopters. The airport’s FAA Identifier: 4O4.
