About

Our quick flight to get a taste of the Driftless region and historic Elizabeth. Fly over the hills as we make our way towards the bluffs of the Mississippi River. We will fly over the orchard, old railway supplying Galena, and head south along the waters edge. We will do an orbit around the historic Savanna Army Depot, which was built in 1917, and fly just outside the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge for some fantastic photo opportunities. We end with a lap of Elizabeth, highlighting picturesque Main Street and the Apple River Fort.

More Info

Each helicopter tour can hold up to three passengers. Please note that all trips are private - even if you have less than three passengers in your group, we will not add anyone else to ride with you!

Per liability and insurance guidelines, Driftless Helicopters is unable to accommodate children under the age of 3 or any “lap child” not occupying their own seat. Our pilots will also use their discretion, and may not allow a “Doors-Off” tour while children are passengers.

FAA Weight Regulations: FAA regulations require that all passengers be weighed at check-in. Every passenger, including their carry-on items, will be discreetly weighed upon check-in. Only the flight crew will have access to passenger weights, and all information will be kept confidential. The FAA limits the passenger weight in each seat to 300 lbs. Purchasing a second ticket does not exempt you from the 300 lbs. weight limit. The combined maximum weight limit per group is 550 lbs.

What to Bring

We suggest passengers wear dark-colored clothes, so that their clothing does not reflect off the helicopter window or disrupt their photos.
