Helicopters and Finding The Right Experience. 

Flying in a helicopter feels exhilarating and a bit surreal. Unlike a plane, the helicopter's ability to hover, turn sharply, and fly at lower altitudes gives you a unique sense of freedom.  The sensation is often smoother than expected, but with moments of excitement as the helicopter banks or hovers in place. The vibrations and sounds of the rotors are distinct, adding to the thrill. Being closer to the ground provides stunning views, offering a panoramic perspective that you just can’t get from a plane. It’s an unforgettable experience—both thrilling and exhilarating 

Why A Helicopter Flying Experience is suitable for people of all ages! 

Helicopter experiences make a great day out for all age groups because they offer a unique and thrilling perspective that appeals to different interests. For younger children and teens, the excitement of flying high above the ground will feel like an adventure, while for adults, it's an opportunity to appreciate stunning landscapes from a whole new vantage point.  

Additionally, helicopter rides are typically short and accessible, making them a great choice for families or mixed-age groups. The experience can be educational as well, especially when paired with commentary about local landmarks or history. From celebrating special occasions to simply seeking an unforgettable experience, helicopter rides are a versatile option that brings joy and excitement to everyone on board. 

What kind of experiences are available involving a Helicopter? 

In short, there are a huge variety of experiences that you can do in a Helicopter. With many options available as a passenger from 6 Mile Helicopter Flight to 25 Mile Flights where you can enjoy the twists and turns from the sky in a way only a helicopter can deliver. You could opt for a UK City Tour if you wanted to see your favourite city from a unique perspective or maybe you want to gain a vantage point of your beloved football teams stadium with our Football Stadium Tour Helicopter Experience.  

If you wanted to really splash out, you could even opt for a Private London Charter Helicopter Tour for up to 3-4 people to absorb all of the sites of our capital city with your own bespoke flying party.  

What about flying the Helicopter myself?  

Fancy taking control of the aircraft itself, be our guest! We offer the opportunity to feel the full power of the Helicopter by taking control in flight as part of our Tactical Helicopter Flying Lesson, where you can even use this towards potentially getting your flying licence.
