Absolutely the best experience I’ve had in a helicopter!! I have flown before but this was the first time I was able to fly with the doors off, 100/10 will absolutely be doing it again! Extremely knowledgeable and informative during the flight. Our pilot Isaiah went above and beyond checking the weather ahead of time for us to make sure we had the best experience possible. Could not have asked for a better flight and pilot
