About this place

 

AM Air Service, which also flies under the name Heli Chicago, runs helicopter flights out of Hangar C28 at Schaumburg Regional Airport. The best known is the downtown tour, which follows the lakefront and the Chicago skyline before heading back to Schaumburg. There are also shorter flights over the northwest suburbs, an introductory ride for first-timers, longer "mega" tours of the region and flights built around lunch or dinner.

Beyond sightseeing, the company handles private and corporate charters, aerial photography and survey work, and helicopter appearances for weddings, proposals, festivals and company events. It holds FAA Part 91 and Part 135 certificates.

Good to know: every tour starts at the airport on Irving Park Road, and flights are booked ahead, not walk-up. Prices depend on the tour and the number of passengers, so check the website or call before you plan the day. The business office is in Green Oaks; for flights, use the airport number.
