The day was well organised and pilot was very friendly and made the experience a lot of fun. It's a great opportunity to see your local area from the air, or just to experience manoeuvring in a helicopter! definitely recommend.
This helicopter flight was to be my first time ever in any kind of aircraft. I was'nt biting my nails exactly but was more concerned that I might be air sick. As we were seated we were given intercom headsets and buckled in. Once the rotor was turning the whole aircraft was vibrating quite a lot and I wondered if this would continue throughout the flight. The pilot soon put us at ease and explained that the vibration would cease once we were airborne. He was right WOW! as we lifted from the ground all the vibration stopped and the nose tipped slightly down (I think the pilot warned us about this) and we were away soaring over the Derbyshire dales towards Chatsworth House with Baslow soon sliding beneath us like a toy town. Definitely take a camera but take plenty of time to experience it first hand not all through the view finder. It was a fantastic experience and the staff were well focussed on our safety and comfort and answered any queries we had. We took off from a rough grassed field opposite a pub so sensible walking shoes or trainers are a must. I had a brilliant time and would recommend it to anyone.
I went to Redhill aerodrome, which is a grass strip with original WWII Battle of Britain buildings, and where Hurricane and Spitfire pilots flew from in the Battle.
You go up in a circuit of about five miles and a thousand feet high, which shows you a large part of south London, Kent and the estuary.
Very much worthwhile!
My husband bought me the helicopter buzz as a birthday present. It was a brilliant day from start to finish, even though it was raining it didnt spoil the experience. The staff were very helpful and I even managed to sit in the front seat next to the pilot!
All in all a great experience and will certainly do it again.
I bought my Husband a helicopter experience as part of a Birthday treat. I'm thankful that the experience I purchased was for two people as I would not have missed this experience for the world. Adventure 001 made our few hours at the aerodrome a real pleasure. They ran to time, were efficient and nothing was too much trouble. We would recommend this company and their helicopter experience without hesitation.
