Eine grandiose Erfahrung, einen Schnupperkurs im Heli-selbst-fliegen zu absolvieren! Man sollte sich einen windstillen Tag dafür aussuchen, da die Steuerung extrem sensibel ist und auf allerkleinste Bewegungen reagiert.

A bucket list item tucked off for this 60-something woman. Instructor Juliet was wonderful with her not-so-talented student and it was a thrilling experience. Superb customer service from Robyn also.

We were frustrated by the weather. Due to cloud and high winds the helicopter lesson did not take place. The guys at Garden City Helicopters did everything they could to fit me in on the 28th, 29th and the 30th but the weather was against us. However full marks for the efforts they made
