The highlight of our vacation.

My boyfriend surprised me and took me on the “Surf and Turf” tour for Valentine’s Day. It was incredible!
Our favorite parts were seeing the San Diego Wild Animal Park from the air, seeing a whale in La Jolla, flying by downtown, and seeing Coronado.
Our pilot / tour guide was Bryan, and he couldn’t have been nicer. He was more than happy to loop around and see a couple nice houses that we liked. I really recommend it!

“Corporate Helicopters was contracted with San Diego Gas & Electric for approximately two and a half years (four including other projects) to provide six helicopters for operations including crew transport, aerial survey, aerial photography and aerial filming during construction of SDG&E’s Sunrise Powerlink Project. Throughout the duration of the project, Corporate Helicopters conducted their missions with professionalism and the utmost care for safety in all facets of the operation, which led to a successful completion of the project.”

They have great staff members and very experienced, knowledgeable pilots to train you and get you where you want to be.

Corporate Helicopters has been the provider of choice for aerial support services for the NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally, a 5 day international off road motorsports event. We have utilized their services for both emergency evacuation plans and enhanced media relations (photography and videography). Always reliable and efficient, their world-class service and top-notch equipment enables us to put total confidence in their capabilities, reduce costs and streamline logistics.

Corporate Helicopters of San Diego made my wedding proposal happen! When they mentioned that they do direct flights to the Thornton Winery I knew that it would be perfect for what I was looking for. Everyone at CHSD made our experience special and memorable. I can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond to take care of all our requests. The flight was amazing and something we will never forget and plan to do many more times!
