McClellan, California helicopter operator focused on utility and firefighting work
Capitol Helicopters Inc. is a helicopter operator based at McClellan Airport (KMCC) in McClellan Park, outside Sacramento, California. Its website describes it as a certificated air carrier under FAA Parts 135, 133 and 137, covering on-demand passenger flights, external-load work and agricultural-type operations.
Its core business is aerial work rather than private passenger travel. HeliHub reports that the company mainly flies utility and firefighting missions, and its fleet is equipped for hook and external-load operations. The website also lists commercial services and aircraft maintenance.
HeliHub put the fleet at about 20 helicopters in mid-2025, made up of Bell 205, 212, 407, 407HP and 429 models plus seven UH-60 Black Hawks, some still being converted for civil use. A new Bell 412EPX was delivered in July 2025.
Flyers looking for passenger charter in Northern California can ask about Part 135 availability, but should expect a fleet configured mainly for utility and fire support. The website reports IS-BAO Stage 3 certification.
