Where can I post that I am looking for a helicopter?
Post a free Buy Request on ChopperSwap. Describe the helicopter you are looking for and matching sellers across our global network are notified within minutes — no fee, no contract, no obligation.
Most helicopters are not on the open market on any given day. If you want an "R66 turbine, under 800 TT, glass cockpit, US registry" it might be available but not listed publicly. Posting a Buy Request is how you reach the owner anyway.
On ChopperSwap a Buy Request is free, visible to all sellers, and sticky — it stays live until you fulfil or close it. Owners, brokers and dealers who own matching aircraft are alerted automatically.
It is the cleanest way to surface off-market inventory without spamming brokers.
Steps
- Hit "Post buy request" — From the marketplace toolbar choose "Buy" → "Post buy request". Free, no payment screen.
- Specify the spec — Manufacturer, model, year range, max hours, must-have equipment, registry preference, country, budget range.
- Add context — A short description of intended mission (private, training, EMS, utility) helps sellers know if their aircraft truly fits.
- Publish — Your request is sent to sellers with matching inventory and shown on relevant browse pages. Inquiries arrive in your inbox.
Why ChopperSwap
Reaches off-market sellers
Many helicopters trade owner-to-owner before they ever hit a public listing — a Buy Request reaches those sellers.
Always free for buyers
No fee to post, no fee to receive responses, no fee to close. We never charge buyers, period.
Stays live until closed
Buy Requests do not expire after 30 days the way classifieds do. Keep yours open as long as you are searching.
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost anything to post a wanted request?
No. Posting a Buy Request is free, and so is responding to seller messages.
Who sees my Buy Request?
All signed-in ChopperSwap sellers, with extra prominence to those listing the make/model you specified. Your name and contact details are masked until you choose to respond.
How long does it stay live?
Until you mark it fulfilled or close it manually.
Can I post multiple buy requests?
Yes — owners often run several requests in parallel (e.g. one for the primary aircraft, one for a backup).
Will brokers spam me?
No — your contact details are not exposed until you choose to respond, and abusive senders can be blocked instantly. Most responses are direct from owners or specialist dealers.
