A phenomenal experience, from end to end! We were picked up at our hotel, and driven to n the airport. The staff, and pilot/instructor were friendly and knowledgeable! They explained everything and made the hour long first helicopter flight experience truly enjoyable, and an event to talk about and share with friends and family!

The whole process was seamless from the time we arrived and we made some great memories! Our instructor James was amazing - we highly recommend him! He was professional and maximized the time to make sure we learned from the time we got to the helicopter, into the air with different maneuvers and after landing. We did the 30 minute introductory lesson but we would love to come back again and work with James! Thanks so much for a great experience!

One of the best experiences of my life. Erik greeted us and was gracious from the start. He explained the trip from start to finish, very thorough and knowledgeable. James was our pilot and he was the consummate professional. He put me at ease and was patient and very clear with his instruction. When I did take the controls, he made me feel at ease and encouraged me with his calm and supportive demeanor. I highly recommend this experience for any aviation enthusiast and even for those who are not!
