The helicopters used are primarily American Eurocopter products. The state-of-the-art Single and Twin Engine Jet Helicopters are climate controlled, providing heat and air conditioning, along with an expanded cabin, comfortably seating up to seven. Those aboard enjoy spectacular sights and photo opportunities unique to helicopter sightseeing.

Since their introduction in 1978, the AS350 has become the aircraft of choice for the single-engine operator because of its capability to travel farther and faster than any comparable ship in its class. The AS350 also has the largest cabin volume of any production single-engine helicopter. With its proven endurance, long range performance, and features, such as forward-facing seats, extensive window area and generous cargo storage, the AS350 is ideal for sightseeing.
