Helicopter flying is to air travel what Superman is to super heroes! Look – up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, it’s got the moves; it’s got the power - and it’s got the capabilities of the nimblest birds and the coolest planes combined! The helicopter is arguably the ultimate aircraft; it can hover like a bird, it can achieve speeds in excess of many small aeroplanes. More than that, it can reverse. Still loading your camera as you flew over Buckingham Palace? No problem! You can just zip back for another look. It can even take off and land vertically; try doing that in your microlight! And wait till you experience the manoeuvrability! No wonder it’s the transport of choice for non cape wearing super powers, movie stars and millionaires; and now you – if you want it…
Helicopter flying activities and experience days are available to everyone who wants to experience a little taste of the high life. Thrill to the grandeur of it all. Revel in the luxury.
Flight times vary from fifteen minutes to hours in the hour; and gift packages and experiences are available for all. You’ll find out how it feels to hover in the air, the steady beat of the propellers holding you aloft, as you gaze at the world beneath your feet. The views are crystal clear from 1000 feet. You’ll see the world in all its beauty. You’ll feel supremely lucky – or you can make someone else feel supremely lucky – what a gift to give!
Depending on your chosen helicopter flying activity, you decide how participative you want to be; just sit back and enjoy the spectacular views or try your hand at piloting! Imagine that! Up in the air five minutes and you’re taking over the controls! Nudge the cyclic pitch stick and decide upon your course; vary the lift with the collective pitch stick and hold on tight – you’re piloting a helicopter! What a rush! Bank low and look in on life from a unique perspective; then back up; hover; lift – watch the world swing by and cherish the ultimate aerial experience. You won’t have to worry about a thing. All vehicles are dual control, so your instructor won’t ever need to wrestle the controls from you; whether you get into difficulty hovering over Big Ben, or if you just can’t be persuaded to give up the controls!
Ground-bound locomotion may never again have the same allure; just remember, helicopter flying lessons are available for all those wanting to take the next step. From step-by-step lessons to full away day activity programmes for those that just can’t get enough.
Depending on the size of your chopper; R22 or R44, you’ll get the chance to invite between two and three friends, colleagues, clients or customers. What a way to celebrate an anniversary, seal a deal, or tie the knot! These are the moments you’ll remember for the rest of your life; so thank goodness for experiences like this; and thank Sikorsky for helicopters!
Take to the skies for the thrill of a lifetime. Up, up and, well, you know the rest!
