Serving southeast North Carolina for over 20 years.  We specialize in Boat shoots, Power-line patrol, News gathering/TV and almost anything requiring a camera.  We have experience in agriculture work as well as search and rescue.  With few exceptions, you name it and we've done it. 

We operate a Robinson R22 Beta helicopter.  Incredibly reliable.  A strong power to weight ratio makes it the best choice for what we do. Although it is a two blade rotor system, it is very smooth.  Our machines are maintained to standards above FAA requirements.  We are insured and experienced.
