Welcome to Iowa Helicopter



IOWA HELICOPTER, READY TO SERVE YOU!

COMING SOON

Bell 206L3 Long Ranger helicopter

Iowa Helicopter, in cooperation with Exec 1 Aviation in Ankeny, is pleased to bring turbine helicopter service to Iowa. Flights will soon be available in the Bell 206L3 Long Ranger helicopter.  This aircraft seats 5/6 people plus one pilot and is an extremely stable aerial photo and video platform.

Helicopter John McLaughlinOver the past several years, Iowa Helicopter has been slowly and safely growing our business in order to serve the helicopter needs of central Iowa and now the Omaha Nebraska area. We are proud that our helicopter flight students have had a 100% passing rate for their pilot certificates. We believe students should train to exceed the required standards, not just simply meet them. Our students land great jobs flying with hospitals, the oil industry and tour operators.

Iowa Helicopter also offers complete aerial photography and video services. Not only does the helicopter provide a better platform than airplanes for shooting photos and video, but we are much more efficient. It is not unusual to be able to photograph two to three times as many locations in an hour when using a helicopter when compared to fixed-wing aircraft. This saves you, the customer, time and money! We have high resolution cameras and high definition video equipment, plus experienced photographers. Your photographer is also welcome to fly with us!

Our business doesn't stop with photos and flight training, we also conduct aerial surveys for property developers, inspect powerlines, conduct wildlife management counts, and give hundreds of rides every year at town festivals and corporate outings. We are proud of our work with local law enforcement in searching for lost persons or helping tracking down a violent criminal on the run.

At Iowa Helicopter, we fly only modern equipment from the nation's largest helicopter manufacturer. Each aircraft is inspected every 100 hours of flight time by certified mechanics.

Please contact us at Iowa Helicopter. We look forward to working with you in the near future. Contact us today!
