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.

Virgin Hyperloop One

On June 2018, Sundance Helicopters transported 9 representatives of the Republic of India to the Virgin Hyperloop One metalworks manufacturing facility near Apex, Nevada. Virgin Hyperloop One is a privately-held company on a mission to create fast, effortless journeys that expand possibilities and eliminates the barriers of distance and time. The representatives and our Sundance pilots were able to witness a simulation of the hyperloop accelerating gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The top speed for a hyperloop can be 670 miles per hour or 1080 kilometers per hour!

The AS350 is the most utilized tour helicopter in the world. It has a maximum gross weight of 4,961 lbs. and is 42.5 ft. long.
