Whether you are trying to beat the traffic, or simply want a birds eye view of the countryside, there is no more stylish way to travel than by helicopter. The special skill and co-ordination required to fly helicopters is generally more challenging than flying fixed-wing aircraft - so youll feel a great sense of achievement once youve mastered it!
You will typically be taking to the skies in a Robinson R22 helicopter which has two seats - one for you and one for the pilot - and dual controls. Go on, put a smile on someones face...
