What an experience!

A great experience, the instructor was fantastic! Although it is a group activity (I was with two others) you still got the chance to rotate so each person sat in the front of the helicopter. I would seriously recommend this experience.

No dates available

I booked this at a local airfield and then it was then cancelled with no explanation given. The airfield I booked with stopped providing these experiences at all so I had to book one further afield. There are only a few alternate dates available, but all seem to be weekdays when I am working. I keep trying to re-book without success. I have yet to fly a helicopter but this whole thing is more hassle than it is worth.
