Oregon Flying

See Oregon From Above

Oregon is a state of big scenery, and the best way to take it all in is from a few thousand feet up. This collection gathers flying experiences across Oregon, from short hops over downtown Portland to longer flights that trace the coast or circle volcanic peaks. Compare them with the full range of flying experiences if you want to see what is on offer in other states, or keep it local and surprise someone with airplane rides in Oregon they will be talking about for months.

Scenic Flights, Helicopters and Lessons

Plane tours head out over the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood and Mount St. Helens, with some routes reaching the coast. Helicopter flights over Oregon wine country swap the car for a bird's eye view of the vineyards. For hands-on fliers, intro lessons near Portland put you in the pilot seat of a training helicopter with an instructor beside you, a great taste of Oregon flying lessons before committing to more. Indoor skydiving is there for anyone who wants the thrill without the plane. Take a look at our Portland plane tours for more ways to see the city. New routes and flights are added from time to time, so it is worth checking back.

A Gift for Dreamers and Thrill Seekers

A scenic flight makes an unforgettable birthday gift, and a lesson in the pilot seat is a great pick for Father's Day gifts. It is a standout Christmas surprise as well. Each experience comes as an instant e-voucher or a printed gift box.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Oregon weather can change quickly, so operators reschedule flights when clouds or wind make it unsafe or the views poor, and the voucher stays valid for a new date.

When are the clearest flying days in Oregon?

July through September usually brings the clearest skies and best mountain views, though winter flights can show off snowy peaks on bright days.
