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, I apologize for sending this thank you so late. But we wanted to thank you with some local goods from the Oneonta area. The kids have not stopped talking about the ride in the helicopter. It was the highlight of their summer. I appreciate you taking me up and explaining the unique aspects of the waterways. It was a wonderful trip. Again thanks! Be sure to look us up if ever you are in cen...

Dear Mr. Friedman, I don't know how you would ever find anyone any more delighted with a helicopter ride than Ron was last Thursday! He enjoyed it so very much! Thank you so much for your patience and help getting him in and out of the helicopter. All of his major joints are metal, plus the loss of a leg---so he has quite a time doing what he'd like to do. Also---thanks for ...
