What time do I need to arrive for my helicopter tour?
We prefer all passengers arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time of departure. This will allow us to pre-flight all passengers regarding safety issues concerning the helicopter.
What if the weather is bad the day of my flight?
If the weather does not cooperate the day of your helicopter charter, the flight will be rescheduled for a time that is convenient for you. There will be no charge if you decide not to reschedule your tour due to inclement weather, and your deposit will be happily refunded.
If we want to add more flight time is that possible?
You sure can. If you decide while you are in the air the pilot can extend your flight and make sure that you get the ride that you want. You will pay the balance upon landing.
Will the pilot talk to us during the flight?
Yes, Our pilots are extremely knowledgeable of the local area and will point out all the surroundings of the tour that you have chosen.

If you wish, the pilot can activate a mute feature on his headset to allow you some privacy with your guests.
Can I bring my video camera and/or still camera?
Of course, and we encourage it. Our helicopters provide a smooth ride, and since every seat has a window, you will have pictures to last a lifetime. If you take any great footage or shots you would like to share with us, let us know and we will gladly add them to our website or display them in our office. You can never have enough pictures.
We do take video of each flight and offer that as an option, ask about it prior to your flight!
