Helicopter Logging Services

McCarty Logging started as a ground based Oregon logging company in 1991.  All of McCarty Logging, Inc. work was selective tree removal delivering up to 22 million board feet in one year to the mill.  In 1997, David founded Columbia Basin Helicopters, Inc.  We have been contracted to perform some helicopter logging with our Huey’s over the years.  Now with the addition of our two (2) KMax helicopters, we are again concentrating our resources toward logging.  The KMax’s unique narrow fuselage gives the pilot an unobstructed vertical reference.  The KMax also features a heavy duty trolley system which enhances stability while performing long line operations.  These features coupled with the KMax’s low operating noise (82 decibels) and low rotor down wash make it well suited to aerial logging operations.

Columbia Basin Helicopters, Inc. will tailor our work to what best suits the customer from road work, cutting, processing, loading and trucking.  We are able to helicopter log with either chokers or a grapple.
