From the moment the blades start spinning to the second you touch back down, this helicopter experience delivers pure adrenaline and unforgettable views. Take your place in the cockpit of a Robinson R-22 and feel what it’s like to truly fly, with you at the controls.
After lift-off, you’ll soar up to 1,000 feet in the air and reach speeds of over 120 mph as your certified instructor guides you through each maneuver. You’ll feel the unique thrill of hovering, gliding sideways, climbing vertically, and steering forward, all from the pilot’s seat. Then, when you’re ready, it’s your turn to take control and experience the unmatched freedom of flying a helicopter firsthand.
Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list thrill or exploring your passion for aviation, this flight is an unforgettable journey into the skies, and one you’ll be talking about long after you land.
