OC Helicopters

OC Helicopters is a helicopter company in Santa Ana, California, flying from John Wayne Airport (SNA). Its website gives 2007 as the year it was established and points customers to the ACI Jet facility at the airport for departures.

Much of its business is sightseeing: the website lists six tours of the Orange County coastline. It also offers helicopter charters to destinations across Southern California, including Catalina Island, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Palm Springs and several Los Angeles-area airports. It also offers event flights such as gender reveals and golf ball drops.

The website does not clearly say which helicopters are used for tours and charters, and it does not state that the company holds its own FAA Part 135 certificate. The site also lists helicopters for sale, including Robinson R66 and Airbus EC120 aircraft, though it is not clear whether this is a regular sales service.

For charter work, flyers should ask which aircraft and operating certificate will be used for their trip. Third-party tour listings describe short coastal rides from the airport's executive terminal.
