This was an anniversary present for my fiance. He absolutely loved the experience... The classroom and in flight instruction was wonderful! Riding along and taking pictures throughout the flight was a thrill for me as well. To quote my fiance, 'If I ever have trouble deciding on a birthday, holiday, anniversary, etc gift, please get me another helicopter flight lesson!'

Hands down the most thrilling experience ever. I gave this as a birthday gift to my boyfriend and he loved it! He used to work for the company that makes them, so it was much more awesome to be able to fly one of the helicopters he worked on. The instructor Troy, was super helpful. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone.

Great experience!

My husband is still thanking me for finding this opportunity. It is a unique, very hands on experience and we learnt so much about the mechanics of helicopter and its operation. Jeff was very nice and articulate instructor. If you are an adventurer, this is way to do it, it is easy and accessible, thrilling!

Jeff was a great instructor, most professional and personable...I would recomend this experience to anyone looking for the first time in a helicopter...J

My girlfriend bought this for me for Christmas and it was one of the coolest things I have ever done. I actually got to do a lot of flying on my own and now I have something cool to brag about to all of my friends. My girlfriend is the best.

I got this for my bf's 25th bday. He is a petroleum engineer which means that he is around helicopters all the time however he had never flew one. He had no idea what we were doing up until the point when he saw the helicopter sign on the front door! He was so happy and so excited! It was hugs and kisses all day long! We are going to take lessons now and get certified to be pilots! Thank you so much Eddie G (our instructor) and Xdays for giving us a great time!

Everyone at LA Helicopters was fantastic!! I bought the helicopter ride for my dad and husband who were both pilots in the Army. My dad hadn't flown a helicopter in 19 years and my husband 15. They had so much fun. It all came right back them both. The pilot was fantastic!! He made the trip so much fun. I think his name was Louise. We will definitely do it again!
- Shannon - Long Beach, Friday, January 01, 2010
What an experience! Eddie was our instructor and certainly A.D.D. (which is necessary to fly a helicoptor). Had a great time - and surprised how much I actually flew. The hovering exercises were cool as well!
- Rick - Long Beach, Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Got the package for Christmas, for 2, from the coolest girlfriend in the world. The flight was incredible, an amazing feeling. I'm going to get the package for my girl so she can experience the controls. I'll be in the backseat, with fingers crossed.
- Stuart Murphy - LA, Tuesday, February 03, 2009
This was such a great experience. I got this for my boyfriend's birthday and he LOVED it. So much so that he was even telling random strangers that he had just flown a helicopter! I also had a lot of fun going along for the ride and I never felt left out. The instructor was awesome- very knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. The only bad thing is that I've totally outdone myself and my future gifts are doomed. Thank you for such a great time.

I JUST WANT TO SAY IT WAS GREAT , MY BOYFRIEND LOVE IT!!!!, AT THE BEGING HE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE NOT GONNA LET HIM FLIGHT BUT HE ACTUALLY DID, HE LOVE IT , THE INSTRUCTOR WAS AMAZING, PATIENT AN VERY FRIENDLY. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMEND IT. IF YOUR ARE LOOKING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRY OR GIVE AS A GIFT IT IS JUST PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING MY BOYFRIEND SUCH A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY GIFT.
- ELIZABETH RAMIREZ - LONG BEACH, Tuesday, September 30, 2008
This was a very good experience. I got it for my birthday and it was a pleasant surprise.
- Sandy - Long Beach, Thursday, August 28, 2008
WOW! Talk about a hands on helicopter flight! Going into this experience, I never imagined that I would be at controls of the helicopter for 25 of the 30 minutes of the flight. The instructor was great, and after about 30 minutes of helicopter education on the ground, we were ready to go. A cool thing about this experience was that at the end, you are given a log book for your time spent learning as a start to your 40 hours required for obtaining a helicopter license. Before the experience, I thought I was only going to be controlling the chopper for 5 minutes or so, now I'm seriously contemplating going through instruction to obtain a license!
