Our helicopter department has been in operation since 2000, and includes a fleet of three
Robinson R44 Raven II helicopters and two MD500E helicopters.
Each helicopter is flown by a single pilot and has seats for up to three passengers.
Under seat stowage allows room for small back packs and gear. Our helicopters serve multiple agencies,
businesses and individuals each year. Charter us for anything from flight seeing, to serving remote weather
stations and camps, or do a little exploring.
