Recent Mail:

"We did the Grand Tour with Glacier Landing on September 6th.  It was the highlight of our recent trip to Alaska to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary.  The scenery was truly a 'religious experience'.

Trent was an amazing pilot.  Holly and Susie were so friendly and patient.

Thanks so much for such an awesome flightseeing experience! It was soooo worth it!

We'll never forget you guys!!

Customer's Video

Flew with (Don) Sheldon Air Service to Denali with long time friend Jack. Landed on Ruth Glacier at 7000 ft. One of the lucky few to experience the mountain on a clear, sunny, and hot day!

"The Sheldon legend lives"

Sheldon Air Service flew our group of 5 ‘Alaska Team Yeti’ mountain climbers and 4 friends and family members to the base camp at Kahalitna Glacier on Denali.

I have lived in Alaska for over 30 years and this was one of the most exciting adventures I have experienced in our Great State. I have always loved Denali but will never look at that majestic mountain the same after this trip.

David, Holly and their team at Sheldon Air Service took care of our every need and they are great people to spend the day with.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"Great Service for a solo!"

I was a solo climber this May. I had to wait in Talkeetna a day or two, but when the weather cleared, Dave flew me out immediately by myself.

On my way back out, I had to wait a day or two as well, but when a brief weather window cleared, Jok came out and picked me up, by myself, while climbers from the other services waited, and we took the long way home in a grand private tour. Holly had warm cookies ready for me when we landed to celebrate my summit.

Couldn't have been more pleased with the service.

"More than an air service!"

We flew with them to Mount Mckinley base camp in our climb trip.

They gave us a perfect service, after our trip we spent some days in Talkeetna where they made [us feel] like in home, to meet this people was one of the best things of our [holidays].

I desire them the best, they deserve it.
