Experience Idaho from Above
Departing from McCall Municipal Airport (KMYL), our helicopter takes you over some of the most dramatic landscapes in the continental United States — terrain that most people only ever see from the ground. Every flight is custom-quoted. Browse the experiences below, then fill out the inquiry form and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
Payette Lake Loop
A McCall classic. Fly over the lake, the town, and the surrounding mountain corridors — alpine ridgelines, forested valleys, and the kind of aerial perspective that changes how you see this place. Perfect for first-timers and locals alike.
Sawtooth Passage
From McCall up into the Sawtooth Range — jagged granite peaks, hidden alpine lakes, and ridgelines that stretch as far as you can see. One of the most visually stunning flights available anywhere in the Mountain West.
Golden Hour Flight
Evening light over Payette Lake and the Salmon River corridor — warm, dramatic, and unlike anything you'll see from the ground. One of the most memorable experiences McCall has to offer. Available seasonally.
Aerial Photography & Film
Our aircraft is purpose-suited for professional aerial work — stable, quiet, and capable at the altitudes Idaho's terrain demands. We work with tourism boards, real estate developers, outdoor brands, documentary crews, and content creators who need footage drones simply can't capture.
Your Idaho Bucket List
A surprise proposal above the mountains. A remote anniversary dinner. A private photography expedition to a place nobody else reaches. If it exists somewhere in Idaho and you can dream it, tell us — we love figuring out how to make it happen.
Tell us your dream →People You Can Actually Trust
Every flight we arrange is operated by pilots we know personally — not a call center, not a random dispatch. We work exclusively with experienced Idaho-based pilots flying well-maintained aircraft. These are people who know this terrain, fly it regularly, and take the responsibility of carrying passengers seriously. When you book with Babes & Blades, you're working with people who actually live here.
Flights are arranged by Babes & Blades Aviation, LLC and operated by FAA-authorized pilots and aircraft. Babes & Blades Aviation, LLC is not an air carrier.

Alpine Aviation — Mountain Home, Idaho
Babes & Blades has a structured training and proficiency partnership with Alpine Aviation in Mountain Home, Idaho. This isn't a casual arrangement — it's the operational foundation of how we build pilots, source qualified flight crew, and maintain the safety standards our passengers deserve.
Alpine Aviation's instructors bring deep experience in rotorcraft operations, turbine systems, and Idaho mountain flying — terrain that demands more than textbook training. Every pilot operating flights for Babes & Blades trains and maintains currency through Alpine's program.
Why this matters to you: When you fly with Babes & Blades, the pilot at the controls has been trained, checked, and cleared through a formal commercial aviation program with real mountain flying standards — not self-certified, not rushed. That's what the Alpine Aviation partnership means in practice.
