The Right Helicopter for the Job

The Schweizer 300C is an excellent helicopter appropriate for many applications. If your job requires different equipment we also have access to and can supply the Bell 206 Jet Ranger, Robinson R-44 or Bell 47.

At Point of View Helicopter Services we are pleased to offer reduced rates for uses that fit our point of view-namely environmental and social justice causes that are helping to make the world a better place and possibly even save it. It is our desire to make the unique perspectives and uses gained from a helicopter available to non-profit communities that might benefit, but could not normally afford it.

Ed, That is some crazy picture. I still can't believe you fly a helicopter and that you landed it on our beach! That was just incredibly surreal, through and through. The reality is sinking in, however, as I send you the check! It is in the mail today, by the way! Thanks for everything, Ed. It was fun to see you, albeit "on the fly." (hysterical) Hopefully we can get together sometime when do...

Dear Ed, Thank you for giving my sister and I a ride in your helicopter. It was very generous considering the price of fuel these days. Also, thank you for devoting your time to fly us around and explain things to us. The helicopter ride will probably be a once in a lifetime experience for me that I will never forget. It was an amazing time riding and landing in the Bay and flying next to an ...
