About Us


Sheldon Air Service's mission is to provide safe, cost effective transportation throughout Alaska as well as to provide their customers with a flight of a lifetime!

 


Holly and David

Sheldon Air Service is family owned and operated by David Lee and Holly Sheldon Lee in Talkeetna, Alaska.  Our family has been flying Alaskans to glaciers since 1932.  David has been flying mountain climbers, visitors, homesteaders and adventurists from Talkeetna for 32 years. 

With over 12,000 hours of flight-time throughout the Alaska Range in Denali National Park, David is one of the most experienced off-airport pilots who specialize in glacier landings.  Sheldon Air offers a modern air service while preserving the personal touch of a family-run business.

We want the opportunity to share a once-in-a-lifetime flight into the wilds of Alaska, with you.

Sheldon Air Service is the mountain climber's choice.

"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.

"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.
