During the recent 110th Indy 500 race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Sweet Helicopters flew more than 600 passengers between four pickup locations and temporary landing zones next to turn two at the Speedway. The passenger number exceeded Sweet Helicopters’ previous record of 500 passengers last year.

Due to the closing of the Indianapolis Downtown Heliport on Dec. 15, 2025, Sweet Helicopters had to relocate one of the pickup locations and set up a temporary heliport with tents and restroom facilities. The company used nine helicopters to fly race teams and fans.
