What Can I Expect
Take to the skies for an unforgettable flight in a jet-powered helicopter, with a unique opportunity to sit alongside the pilot in the cockpit and discover what goes into flying one of these incredible aircraft.
Unlike a traditional sightseeing flight, this experience gives you a fascinating insight into the world of helicopter aviation. From your seat next to the pilot, you'll enjoy a fantastic view of the action as they talk you through how the helicopter operates, explaining the controls, instruments and techniques involved in flying.
Throughout the flight, you'll have the opportunity to ask your pilot as many questions as you like, making this an exciting and informative experience for anyone who's ever wondered what it's really like to fly a helicopter.
Your adventure begins with a safety briefing before you climb aboard, ready for take-off. Flights generally take place in a four-seater Bell Jet Ranger helicopter, although a six-seater Bell Long Ranger may occasionally be used. Don't forget your camera, as there'll be opportunities to capture photos and videos of your experience.
With a choice of over 50 locations across the UK, this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the thrill of helicopter flight while gaining a real understanding of what happens in the cockpit.
