Arduini Helicopters Ltd was started in the 90's by Tom Arduini. Tom flew many for many years and became a legend in Williams Lake. He operated one jet ranger helicopter and was the sole pilot. In 2022 this small company was acquired by Steve Wotton, who has 20+ flying experience and is also a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME). His passion for flying is evident to anyone who meets him. His skill and wealth of experience in wild life work is very sought after as he keeps his passengers safe while also getting the job done.
Kristie Eccleston is also a pilot for Arduini and is mentored by Steve in the wildlife work. She is developing skills and a keen interest in wildlife work but enjoys all types of flying.
