About Applebee Aviation

Applebee Aviation maintains a quality fleet of helicopters and small planes for training and commercial/agricultural operations.  Come fly with us!

Michael Applebee began flying piper airplanes, but it only took one helicopter ride to create a vision for a commercial helicopter outfit.

Most training schools place you in a class with twenty other people, fly traffic patterns at an airport, and make you struggle to get flight time.

Not Applebee. We not only provide a one-on-one ground school, we give you the opportunity to experience a working commercial outfit.

You can tag along drying cherry trees, chasing birds from wild rice plantations, frost patrol for almond trees, or flying with our scenic eco-tours. We help you transition from a low-time pilot to an experienced hirable skilled pilot.

Our recent grads are flying all over the world. We offer a zero hour to turbine transition program and for the low time pilot a turbine transition program that includes ag work, long line work, high altitude training, and scenic eco-tour experience.

Need something done with a helicopter? Chances are we're already doing it, or we've done it. Our full-time staff mechanic is cranking wrenches all day. We're constantly spinning blades and making things happen. Aerial photography, Ag work, Eco-scenic tours, Executive charters, Flight training, Pipeline Patrol. We're there. You could be, too.
