Intro Flight in an R22 Helicopter for only $99

An introductory helicopter training flight is the best way to find out if flying helicopters is something you want to pursue. During this 1 hour flight lesson, which includes 30 minutes of ground instruction and 30 minutes of flight time, you will operate all controls of the helicopter, attempt to hover, and perform basic maneuvers for which you will obtain a half hour of flight time which will count towards your license. This flight will either get you hooked on flying helicopters, or come to the realization that you have underestimated the challenge of piloting a helicopter. Either way, this introduction flight will be one of the most memorable, and hopefully fantastic experiences of your life.
