We pride ourselves on giving you the smoothest ride possible. It is not like a roller coaster ride. The ride is incredibly smooth even on windy days. The ride is much smoother than a small airplane. The rotor blades act like a gyro to stabilize and smooth out any turbulence. Trust us, we don’t want to make you sick in our meticulously clean helicopter.
We have flown many people over the years with various fears and 99% thoroughly enjoyed the flight. Very seldom do we have to abort the flight because someone does not enjoy the experience. It is totally different than a small airplane ride. Check out what Sandra has to say about her experience Sandra’s First Helicopter Experience
