The guys at the airport were wonderful ! We had our flight scheduled for Saturday morning but when we saw the weather forecast had changed to cloudy with rain or snow we contacted trip advisor and changed to Friday so we could have a sunny day. This was done on the Tuesday before our trip. When we arrived 30 minutes before our tour they still showed us booked for Saturday I showed them the confirmation from trip advisor and they asked if we would mind waiting 45 minutes or so and they would try to get us in. My wife loved the idea so she could take pictures while we waited. On our return 45 minutes later they told us the chopper would return in 20 minutes after the people got off and they refueled we could take our tour. They had called another pilot in on his day off and he gave us a wonderful flight over the lake and mountains and 10 minutes longer than we were scheduled for! Thanks guys for a most memorable experience!!
