30 Minute Helicopter Flight in Kent

Experience a truly alternative way of flying with an exhilarating helicopter trial flight. After a comprehensive briefing on safety and important helicopter flying techniques, hop aboard a dual-controlled training helicopter accompanied by a fully qualified pilot. Enjoy a breathtaking vertical take-off, before the instructor puts this versatile craft through its paces - move backwards, forwards and even hover in the air motionless. During the session (at the pilot's discretion), take over the flying duties to really enjoy the sensation of helicopter flight.
