My name is Paul Swanstrom and I have been a river guide here since 1979 and started Mountain Flying Service 1992. We are the orignal Guided Air Tour, as we say "taking people were they do not belong since 1992"

Flying over the canyons will be visually stimualting and your trip will be informative.

Pilot and Plane
I fly a well-maintained Cessna 185, allowing me to safely land and take off from many locations that other aircraft could not consider. Stereo headsets allow for quiet conversation. We are a one-pilot, one-plane company that can give you the service and attention that you deserve.
