Fall Colors Out of Beaver Bay

Palisade Head

We have great news for all you fans of beautiful leaves. To begin with we will now be offering tours out of Beaver Bay, MN located an hour northeast of Duluth on MN Highway 61. This location puts you in the heart of the Sawtooth Mountains enabling you to see such popular landmarks as Palisade Head and Splitrock Lighthouse.

This location combined with a forecast calling for freeze/frost advisories makes this weekend prime time for seeing the splendor of the North Shore in full color. Call now @ (218) 213-7095 to reserve your fall colors flight this weekend out of Beaver Bay! Only $99 per seat!

Fall Colors Are Coming!

Fall Colors

We at Lake Superior Helicopters would just like to keep everyone up to date on the leaf cycle. Here in the Duluth/Superior area the canopy is still dominated by green but the orange and reds are starting to become more prevalent. As you travel up the North Shore the trees bearing autumnal colors almost equal those which are still green. For a map showing the color changes visit: MNDNR Map of Fall Colors

Starting this next weekend, October 3, 2009 we should have finalized paperwork enabling us to give tours out of another location approximately one hour northeast on Highway 61. This, combined with the cool weather predicted this week should make for excellent leaf viewing opportunities. Be sure to call (218) 213- 7095 starting this Tuesday to prebook your leaf viewing adventure with Lake Superior Helicopters.

Come See the Maple!

Autumn

September is here and we are starting to see the reds, oranges, and yellows peaking out amongst the green landscape. The view of the autumn leaves from a helicopter is unparallel by any other aircraft due to a combination of several things including the enormous viewing area and altitude at which they fly. Shoot us an email or give us a call and we will keep you up to date on the autumnal changes.

Congratulations Lt. Tom Phingsten!

Tom Phingsten

Lake Superior Helicopters would like to congratulate 1st Lt. Tom Phingsten of the Minnesota Department of Natural Recourses on receiving his Commercial Rotorcraft License add-on. We tailor all of our training to our student’s goals and Lt. Phingsten was no different receiving his rating within three weeks. Although this accelerated training is not for everyone, there are those who do not have the time to work on a rating for several months making this a great option.
