The whole process was seamless from the time we arrived and we made some great memories!
Our instructor James was amazing - we highly recommend him!
He was professional and maximized the time to make sure we learned from the time we got to the helicopter, into the air with different maneuvers and after landing.
We did the 30 minute introductory lesson but we would love to come back again and work with James!
Thanks so much for a great experience!
