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.

"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."
