The trusted Helicopter Service provider for industry leaders

Matt and his helicopter service was outstanding. Went to Nova Scotia for a golf trip with my dad, brother, and best friend... and flew a couple of different days to various resorts. Matt's communication was excellent and [he] was a safe and expert pilot. We'll be back!!

These guys are true professionals and I highly recommend their business to anyone. Cape Breton from the air is much different than the view from a car and these guys can give the best view while having the experience to back it up. Highly recommended.
