more info

Nothing else comes close to touching the magic of vertical flight; from the moment you lift into the air to the second the helicopter settles gracefully back on the ground it is an unforgettable experience. Take your seat as the pilot climbs gracefully to over 1,000 feet and accelerates to over 120 miles an hour. You will interact with the pilot via the headset (don't forget to listen out for air traffic on the radio!), swooping over the landscape and then settling gently back on the ground.

Agenda
On arrival you will meet your pilot and receive a brief technical and safety briefing then it's up, up and away as you accelerate vertically into the skies. Your pilot will put the helicopter through it’s paces to show you just how versatile these incredible machines really are. Skim across the trees and watch the world pass beneath you before coming into land after a five minute adrenaline rush that is sure to be the envy of all your friends!

Gift Pack:

If I were to purchase three separate gift experiences would the three people be able to have their experience at the same time?
Nicola, Birmingham - 7th November 2012

Firebox says: Hey Nicola! In our notes it says "To have the helicopter completely to yourself, you would need to buy 4 tickets", so 3 people would be able to have it at the same time, but there might be another person joining you on your adventure. Hope this helps! :)

I assumed this was for two people, though I think that this is not the case?
Chloe, Birmingham - 28th October 2012

Firebox says: Hey Chloe, its just you and the pilot I'm afraid!

Could you please tell me where the sites are in dorset.
June Dawes, Weymouth Dorset - 9th November 2011

Firebox says: Hi June, the site in Dorset is in Wimborne, near Bournemouth

Where are the sites for this experience in the West Midlands please?
Amber Weir, Birmingham - 28th November 2010

Firebox says: Wolverhampton is the closest site for you.

It may say on your website that Denham is available but when you try and redeem the voucher on the experience website it is not available.
Anne, BUCKS - 23rd November 2010

Firebox says: The Helicopter Thrill experience is available in Denham, unfortunately they are completely booked out this season.

Any chance this can be done in the rest of the UK like in Scotland?
Mike, Above 54 Degrees North - 15th November 2010

Firebox says: Sorry, Mike, all locations available are listed at the top, but if we can add any more, we'll definitely update the info. Guess there aren't enough helicopters lying around in Scotland?
