"Providing a Unique Perspective on Life"

Point of View Helicopter Services based in Bowdoinham, Maine specializes in wildlife and conservation surveys, environmental assessments, scenic helicopter flights and tours and aerial photography. Our primary helicopter has amphibious floats allowing water landings and increased safety in over-water work and is kept at the Auburn/Lewiston, Maine airport. While our focus area is naturally Maine's mid-coast area, we fly anywhere to meet your needs. Please check out some of our many satisfied customers on our testimonial page.

The Schweizer 300C is an excellent helicopter appropriate for many applications. If your job requires different equipment we also have access to and can supply the Bell 206 Jet Ranger, Robinson R-44 or other helicopters.

At Point of View Helicopter Services we are pleased to offer reduced rates for uses that fit our point of view-namely environmental and social justice causes that are helping to make the world a better place and possibly even save it. It is our desire to make the unique perspectives and uses gained from a helicopter available to non-profit communities that might benefit, but could not normally afford it.

It was an amazing time riding and landing in the Bay and flying next to an eagle. Onc…
