Incredible experience with Sheldon Air! All of the crew were friendly, knowledgable, and professional. The owners were on site and they were great! Our pilot, Tristan, is a talented pilot with a lot of information to share and genuinely cared about our experience. If you are debating on whether to do the flyover or the glacier landing, book the landing! You will not regret it. We had the most memorable adventure and would fly with them again in a heartbeat.
