Federal officials conducted a raid at Helicopter Technologies in Century back on January 9. Combat gear, a sniper in the woods, windows busted for an entry team…all part of the raid according to the company’s owner, George Van Nevel.

Van Nevel says he’s done nothing wrong and years of harassment by the Federal Aviation Administration is just vindictive because he’s not one “of the good old boys”.

NorthEscambia.com will begin a three part series about Helicopter Technologies and Van Nevel on Monday morning.

Monday, we’ll take a look at Van Nevel and his business prior to the federal raid, including what he has to say about the crash of one his helicopters shortly after it left Century.

Tuesday, we’ll take you to that January morning when the federal raid happened through Van Nevel’s eyes. And we’ll learn what he has to say about why the whole thing happened.

Finally, on Wednesday morning, we’ll look at the present and the future of Helicopter Technologies, Van Nevel and how all this relates to the Town of Century and the entire North Escambia area.

You’ll read Van Nevel’s colorful comments word for word in this series. We’ll go inside the factory in the Century Industrial Park with exclusive NorthEscambia.com photos. We won’t just tell you what some of the documents related to this case say, we’ll show you the actual documents that NorthEscambia.com obtained.
