Red Bull Rampage 2017

Sundance Helicopters assisted the team at Red Bull last year as they marked the 12th edition of Red Bull Rampage where 21 of the world's greatest freeride mountain bikers descended upon Virgin, Utah's otherworldly terrain.

Nevada Department of Wildlife Support

For over a decade, Sundance Helicopters has been proudly flying for the Nevada Department of Wildlife and the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn organization which is a nonprofit, all volunteer group. These organizations build and maintain “Guzzlers” which store rain water or water from natural seeps to provide drinking water to support the herds of Desert Bighorn and other wildlife all over Nevada. These Guzzlers are critical to the health and well being of the Bighorn population as it brings consistency of supply and removes the need for a herd to travel long distances in time of drought looking for water. It also aids in preventing accidental death and accidents caused by mass migrations across our roads, highways and railroads. To further assist with these issues, it limits the spread of any viruses or bacterial breakouts between the various populations of Desert Bighorn. Sundance Helicopters recently completed the multi-day annual inspection and repair flights for all of the Guzzlers in the Southern Nevada district. These endeavors help save hundreds of man hours that would be needed to reach all of these sites by road, ATV, and foot. To quote Pat Cummings, Big Game Biologist for Southern Nevada and a member of the Nevada Department of Wildlife, “We don’t build the Guzzlers where it is convenient for us, we build them where the sheep need them." Sundance hopes to continue the outstanding partnership with the Nevada Department of Wildlife and the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn Organization for many more decades to come.

Lift Work

We can support up to 1,500 pounds. We provide helicopter, pilot, fuel, insurance, rigging, permits, ground crew, radio communications, and support fuel truck as required.

We can pour concrete for foundations, set air conditioners on buildings or power poles and antenna towers where required, including congested areas or remote mountain and desert locations.

The Cessna Caravan is a ten seat (9 passenger), single engine, turbine powered airplane that can carry over 2,000 lbs with enough fuel to reach any common destination from Las Vegas. It cruises at just under 200 miles per hour and has larger than standard passenger windows so you can enjoy the view to your destination. It has the ability to land at smaller airstrips that the airlines or private jets cannot, including unpaved runways.

The Caravan is the perfect machine to take a group on day trips from Las Vegas. Going to the Amangiri Resort or Antelope Slot Canyons? You can be in Page, Arizona in a one hour and ten minute flight, rather than a five hour drive. You want to spend a day in Bryce Canyon? Have lunch in Sedona? Go biking in Flagstaff? The Caravan can take you to any of these locations in under one hour and fifteen minutes. Have some other destination in mind? Let us know.

If you have business meetings, need transportation, or just want to see some of the smaller cites and towns in Nevada, Utah, Arizona or California which does not have a major airport nearby, the Caravan fits your needs. There are over 5,000 airports and landing strips in the United States. Just because there isn’t a large airport where you need to go, doesn’t mean there is not an option to get there by air and save precious time.
