Bell 206B3 Jet Ranger - N579SD

Considered the Rolls Royce of Helicopters.
Fast, Smooth, Quiet, Luxuriously Comfortable!
The beauty of reliability!

We use our Jet Ranger for Executive Tours, Movie Production, Aerial Photography, Turbine Transitions and coming soon Charters.

It's Fast, Smooth, Quiet, Luxuriously Comfortable and Beautiful!

It gives us a distinct competitive edge in today's transportation of High Profile Individuals, VIP's and those who just appreciate the finer things in life.

The reason we decided on a Bell Jet Ranger as our first helicopter was really a simple decision, Safety!  

The Bell Jet Ranger has the best safety record of any helicopter in the industry!*

It offered us a more powerful and comfortable helicopter with the ability to transport up to four passengers at a time.  The superior comfort is immediately noticeable both in the amount of room our helicopter provides the passengers and the very smooth stable flight characteristics of our larger Jet Helicopter.  We have a luggage compartment that can actually carry luggage and keeps it out of the passenger area. 

To further increase our passenger's safety and comfort we installed a state of the art avionics system with TCAS (the Traffic alert Collision Avoidance System) and the top of the line Bose Aviation X noise canceling headsets.
