For those in the aviation field

Hi guys, looking to rent a private helicopter/private plane to use as a photoshoot backdrop.

For the helicopter, need it to be in Whistler to rent it for a whole day to fly up to the mountains so will need a pilot. Once there, will use it and the mountains as a backdrop.

For the plane, can be grounded in/around a hangar and be just used as a backdrop only, don't need to fly in it but will need to move it around for background placement purposes. Something like a Cessna will do.

anyone know anyone or is a pilot themselves that have access? Not confirmed but looking to possibly rent around april/may if pitch and budget all goes according to plan. Thanks!

Best bet would be to head out to Pitt Meadows or maybe king george airpark and talk to some owners in person. Helicopter is going to be a tougher bet. Go on a sunny weekend when all the weekdnd warriors are out.

Are the pictures taken with the helicopter for commercial use? If you're making money off the pictures it can't be just any helicopter, you'll probably have to find a helicopter sight-seeing company
