Iditarod Flight Tours
Charter flights for you to follow the Iditarod from start to finish.
One of the questions we are often asked is “How can I best see the Iditarod?” Iditarod tour flights are the best way to see this great event. Sheldon Air Service offers full Iditarod race following air support, from the ceremonial start in Anchorage, to the first checkpoints at Puntilla Lake and Rainy Pass, all the way to Nome.
An Iditarod flight is the adventure of a lifetime, the best way to fully appreciate the last great race is to utilize a ski-equipped bush plane. Sheldon Air Service can customize your tour as the race plays out – putting you right where you need to be to witness first hand the strategic and often dramatic moves the race leaders make as they duel to the finish line in Nome.
Our FBO at Talkeetna airport provides General Aviation services. Fuel, Coffee, Tea, Wifi, etc.
We fly year round!
The Place We Call Home
Talkeetna might be where we lay our head at night but Denali is just as much home to us. The two are inseparable. It could easily be said we spend as much time there, as in our own backyard, and only being a short flight away it pretty much is our backyard as well. Part of what makes Denali so magical for us is the people it allows us to meet. We have made many lasting friendships and have many grand memories thanks to that mountain.
We are commited to serving the independant free spirits of the mountaineering world with specialized air taxi, and Denali Base Camp services, always offering a hot drink and a chair. TO THE SUMMIT!
With flights departing Talkeetna our Denali flightseeing tours offers amazing sights the entire time. Our smaller aircraft allow for more window area and more views. Don’t forget to ask about glacier landings.
We offer bush flying service and hauling to remote places in the area. Charter our Cessna 185 or DeHavilland Beaver for passenger or cargo services!

Everyone at SAS was friendly and accommodating, a great team to work with. The planes are maintained with safety in mind, and Udo flies with an obvious intention of keeping you safe and as comfortable as possible while providing passengers on both sides of the aircraft spectacular views of a finicky mountain. I look forward to another flight around Denali someday, and I won’t fly with anyone else.

Dave is a great pilot and they treat you like friends instead of clients. Great family business. Mountaineers should know they are the most budget friendly option because of the lowest overage fees. They got us to the glacier and they got us off despite bad weather. Great experience flying with these guys. A great alternative to the larger air services in Talkeetna

Absolutely phenomenal Flight service company. Used them for a fly in sheep hunt and the entire process from scheduling to flying was easy. Great customer service, friendly faces and over a great experience and will be using them again in the future.

This was an amazing experience! This is a locally owned business by a kind man and an even more kinder woman. I felt safe the entire time. The views were amazing and our pilot and his wife were knowledgeable about the areas we flew over, answered all of our questions and gave us an overall enjoyable experience. They definitely gave us both the professionalism of a business and the warm kindness of you would get from your own family. Book a flight with Sheldon’s!

We had a fantastic time with the staff on the ground. Very friendly. Chris was our pilot. He was very good providing information on the sights we were flying around. The weather didn't allow us to land on the Glacier but everything else was breath taking. Thank you Sheldon Air Service

We arrived on a cloudy day for our ride to a glacier, which they could not do. So, they gave us a dramatically reduced price and we took a 90 minute sightseeing flight with Jock. Pilot was very knowledgeable about the terrain and the geology, and the views were absolutely stunning. After seeing the glaciers from our cruise ship, it was really something to see them from above. A once-in-a-lifetime experience!!!!
