It was great to experience getting behind the stick of a helicopter. It was very addictive! I have requested a information pack on becoming a student at the school. I could see myself as a helicopter pilot - might be a nice career change form me. I am grateful for the wonderful experience that i was given, a great surprise present.

It was the best experience I've ever had. So much concentration was needed, but it felt so rewarding when you were flying a helicopter by yourself after 5mins of being in the air! Just amazing, and would recommend it to anyone!

The flight was fantastic. The instructor was extremely helpful and he let me fly the helicopter on my own for most of the flight. He even gave me advice on getting my own helicopter license which I am now seriously considering.

This has been a life long dream of my fathers which is why I selected it for his 60th Birthday present. He arrived feeling very anxious however after his flight, most of which he did the flying, he left feeling absolutely amazing. The staff were great, very friendly and eager to make his experience the best of his life. I think we achieved this. Thank You.

I bought the 'helicopter instructor flight' for my boyfriend for his birthday. To be honest, I don't think he was that excited when I gave it to him... BUT he absolutely loved it! Wants to become a helicopter pilot now! :-) Other people's comments on this gift were completely accurate - He got to fly the helicopter for about 35mins. And ALL of the staff there were super friendly & helpful.

Truly excellent!!! The pre-flight briefing contained the perfect level of instruction - enough to fly basic maneuvers and enjoy yourself! After take off you head to the training area where the instructor patiently explains and illustrates the controls one at a time. Before you know it your the one flying the helicopter, and at 1000 feet there's plenty to look at as you practice flying!!!

I had an excellent time, and was really surprised when I found out what I was going to be doing on my birthday. The overall experience was outstanding, and largely due to Martin, my instructor.. He was very professional and an excellent communicator.

My son gave me this experience for my birthday and what a great experience it was. After our take off I had complete control of the Helicopter. It was an exhilarating 30 minutes. The instructor was relaxed and explained everything clearly. I would certainly do it again.

Absolutely amazing. Best thing is you really get to fly for 30+ minutes. Instructor was so easy going and had confidence in you flying the helicopter, even though you don't really know what you are doing. This was my first time in a helicopter and the most brilliant experience I've ever had. Was easy to get great photos of take off and landing. Will remember this for life.

The instructor was fantastic! He explained the functionality of the helicopter and took us up to 700ft where he handed over the controls. I started off using just one of the three controls as we made our way along the beach line before making a turn and tracking over farm land. It was an amazing experience, one I'll be back to try again!

I was extraordinarily impressed with the instructional quality given by Martin Watts, along with his extremely pleasant personality. I had no difficulty in understanding his pre-flight briefing and his in-flight instructions were without fault, in my opinion. In every way the trial flight was superb and enjoyable.
