Our Company

With decades of experience piloting helicopters, it was natural that in 1999, Jeff Gebhard and Evan Fujiuchi, would come together to form Genesis Aviation, Inc.


In 2004, Genesis Aviation teamed up with KHNL-TV to provide Hawaii’s NBC affiliate and its audience with news from Chopper 8, the only news helicopter in the state of Hawaii.

Our Tours

Genesis Aviation launched its Helicopter Tour Division in January 2005. The popular tours offer Oahu’s visitors (and residents) safe, yet spectacular helicopter tour packages ranging from the economical, easy 45-minute tour for first-timers to the extreme 65-minute, circle island tour for those who want to see it all!

Our helicopter tour provides you with a personal perspective of the island with the options of flying with the doors on or off bringing you closer to a surreal beauty of the island.

Additionally, Genesis Aviation, through our aerial video, films, and stills, continues to provide the highest quality service to global clients such as NBC, ABC Sports, History Channel, United States Navy, Federal Aviation Administration, AIG, the state of Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank, National Geographic, MTV Networks, Optech, the Lockheed Martin Corporation and many more names recognizable throughout the world.
