Jerry Trimble Helicopters is located in McMinnville, Oregon, approximately 50 miles southwest of Portland, Oregon. The McMinnville airport is located in a valley in the heart of Oregon wine country. To the east we have the Oregon Cascade mountain range and to the west we have the Pacific Coastal range. We have very mild weather year round which makes for great helicopter flight training.
Take a demo flight for $75.
Whether you want to start your helicopter flight lessons or just take a scenic flight, our $75 demo flight is your ticket.
You can sit in the pilot seat and fly a helicopter for the fist time under the supervision of a professional instructor or just sit back, relax and take in the sights. If desired, your pilot/instructor will explain the operational systems of the helicopter and you will receive safety training on the Robinson R-22.
