Have you always dreamed of taking the controls of a helicopter and soaring upward toward the sky? Now is your chance to learn the basics of flying a helicopter with this fun and exhilarating experience.
Take the controls of a meticulously maintained OH-6A helicopter. This helicopter was originally designed for use as a military scout during the Vietnam War to meet the U.S. Army's need for an extremely maneuverable observation helicopter. This design makes it ideal for learning and sight-seeing.
After your introduction to helicopter operations and the theory of flight, it's time to climb aboard and fly! You'll take controls of the helicopter and experience the sensation of flying. You can also bring along a passenger to ride as a passenger and share the experience with you.
