RECENT PROJECT

When a renowned international brand approached Heli Alaska to assist with an aerial photography and videography project. Capturing their range amongst the stunning beauty of Alaskan glaciers, potentially adverse weather conditions was a key concern. Heli Alaska’s experienced team and reliable helicopters made them the perfect partner for navigating the unpredictable climate, while ensuring the safety and success of the project.

Towards the end of the shoot, weather conditions took an unexpected turn.
