What a great experience!

I recently had a one to one helicopter challenge flight as a gift. What a great way to tick off a bucket list item. Although it was over in a flash, I feel like I achieved an awful lot. The pilot first took me through the controls, simple enough the way he explained it, and then we were off to put it into practice. Once in the air, I mirrored the pilots actions on the dual controls, and almost straight away, I was flying the helicopter. We did a loop around the airfield, then some hovering and manoeuvres, another loop and some more manoeuvres before coming back in to land. The staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome and relaxed especially the pilot. I would highly recommend!

Up in the air again!!

I appreciated the warm welcome and the interest in my previous experience. The flight was amazing and the instructions enable me to realise that I have not lost all my old skills. Thank you Richard for an experience that I will treasure!

Brilliant experience

My 70 th birthday present from my daughter. Flying a helicopter is challenging as each hand and foot is doing something different at the same time! Instructor was brilliant and for most of the flight I had control ( him on standby with dual controls of course) He gave me clear instructions and I felt confident. We had plenty of time in the air flying up around Tewkesbury and back. At the end I had several goes at 'hovering" on the edge of the airfield - which tests your concentration and coordination, but I was improving each time with the instructors guidance. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, ground staff and instructor were all friendly, professional, and made sure it was a fun experience. My husband watched from the viewing area and was escorted onto the airfield at the end to take close up photos with the helicopter. I was given a certificate to say I had completed the challenge, a nice memento of a memorable time I would highly recommend Heli Air Gloucester

Amazing 60th birthday gift

I loved every minute of my lesson. Richard the pilot was amazing and very patient and encouraging. As soon as we were away from the airport I was in control of the helicopter. Would definitely recommend
