HARRISBURG GETTING THE BIG PICTURE THANKS TO SHIPLEY ENERGY FUEL-O-COPTER
Harrisburg, PAThe City of Harrisburg is obtaining valuable aerial photography for use in promoting the city, courtesy of the Shipley Energy Fuel-o-Copter, Mayor Stephen R. Reed announced today.
Reed said that for more than four decades the Shipley Fuel-o-Copter has been the symbol of service for the Central Pennsylvania-based energy company. The company uses the helicopter to make deliveries to customers who cannot be reached by more conventional means. Historically, its most important role has been delivering fuel oil and service technicians to remote customers following heavy winter snowstorms.
Shipley has been looking for unique ways to reward the communities it serves as part of its ongoing 75th Anniversary Celebration, said Brian Kottcamp, president of Shipley Energy. Shipley offered the city the flight time in the Shipley Fuel-o-Copter, and the city accepted the offer to produce still and video photo- graphy.
With a growing city and an ever-changing skyline, it is important to keep our image fresh and up-to-date, said Mayor Reed. Shipleys generosity enables us to obtain timely aerial images at no cost to the city.
The Mayor said the city plans to use the images secured aboard the Shipley Fuel-o-Copter for a variety of purposes, including on WHBG TV20, the citys website at
www.harrisburgpa.gov., and in print materials.
The City of Harrisburg represents a growing market for Shipley Energy, said Kottcamp. This donation gives us the opportunity to say thank you to our existing Harrisburg area customers, and generate awareness about our products and services for those who are not familiar with Shipley and the Fuel-o-Copter.
