- Scenic Helicopter Tours - The Ridge Runner is a definite crowd pleaser! Our Ridge Runner tour is a very exciting flight over the Chilhowee Mountain Range and Bluff Mountain. The flight starts with a birds eye view of downtown Sevierville and the Tennessee Valley. As the flight progresses you will be traveling over the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and the outskirts of Pigeon Forge and Waldens Creek. With excellent views of the Smoky Mountain National Park you round the back side of Bluff Mountain over 6,000 acres of undeveloped land. While flying low over the tree tops you cross over the top of Bluff mountain where views go from 100 feet to 80 miles in the blink of an eye, it truly is a sight to see!

Wonderful company and thoughtful crew. - Matt was our pilot and was extremely knowledgeable about information of the area. Not to mention very nice. This company also is donating their helicopters and pilots in the hurricane relief efforts. We are very happy with our choice of using them. It was my first time on a helicopter which was an amazing experience and we have Matt to thank for that!

Beautiful view of the mountains! - We had a great trip. They were running on time and check in was smooth for the helicopter ride. We had a couple of apprehensive people in our group, and the staff helped to relieve their anxiety about the flight. The staff checked in with all of us after the flight to ensure that we enjoyed our trip. All of us agreed that we would definitely use the company again if in the area.
