About

Nothing else can rival the magic of vertical flight. On arrival you'll be welcomed, briefed and given the opportunity to see and hear an R44 helicopter at close quarters. These helicopters climb easily and gracefully to over 1,000 feet and can accelerate to over a hundred miles an hour, so smoothly that you'll hardly notice as the power increases. You'll have your own headset so you and the pilot can communicate during the flight (you can also listen in to air traffic over the radio). Enjoy the sensation and the landscape beneath before you glide back down to the ground. You're bound to want to revisit memories of the flight and show all your friends and family, so don't forget to take your camera with you.
