Your experience begins when you meet your FAA Certified Flight Instructor. After 30-minutes of ground school and completion of the pre-flight checklist, you and your instructor will climb into the helicopter and prepare for take-off.
Choose between a Robinson R-22 or a Robinson R-44 helicopter for this experience. The fleet is beautifully maintained to the highest standard and flying any of the helicopters will be a memorable experience.
