The Fly Scenic helicopter ride in Sevierville was an unforgettable experience! The views of the Smoky Mountains were absolutely breathtaking, and the staff made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome the entire time. Our pilot was knowledgeable and friendly, pointing out landmarks along the way. It was smooth, exciting, and perfect for families or couples looking for a unique adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Tennessee!

We did a reroute of Douglas Lake and it was beautiful. We have two boys, age 4 and 2, and staff was great with them. Jameson was our boarding attendant and took great pictures. He even put his sunglasses on our 4 year old because the sun was in his eyes during pictures. Galen was our pilot and he is definitely one of a kind! We had a smooth ride and he was very informative of the area. He was patient with our boys while they were yelling in the headsets and at the end he gave them some pilot wings. 100% recommend these guys if you are looking for a flight!! Thank you Galen for the awesome experience in the sky and all the staff at Scenic!
