Fantastic experience!

5.0Forrest (pilot) was friendly and did a great job narrating the flight and sights! I felt like I was living an "Aerial America" tour. The views of the canyon were enough to bring a few tears and the moment you reach the edge of the canyon and the ground drops away is exhilarating!
Got to be done!

1.0They canceled due to weather so really I am not given a score but you do need to credit me back and also they canceled my airplane ride which comes tomorrow so I need you guys to credit that back too for some reason they said they couldn’t do it. I had to go straight to you guys. Thanks.

5.0Seating, max 3 passengers in front, up to 4 in back The center two rear seats have very limited photo opportunities. If you are a couple and want to take photos, try to ensure one of you (the one who is most keen to take photos/video) has a window seat if you are both to be in the rear. This needs to be established before you are taken out to the helo. Each passenger is weighed, so Center of Gravity calculations dictate the seating arrangements between front and rear seats.
