30 Min Helicopter Challenge - Gift Details
An extended helicopter flight that will see you take the controls!
This is your chance to experience a pure adrenaline rush as your instructor shows you the manoeuvrability of a modern helicopter - sideways, backwards, round in circles and then the tricky test of concentration and skill - the hover. Then it 's your turn to take the controls, climb away, take a look at the countryside, then come back down to earth for low-level flying (and we mean low!) and to see if you can handle the hover.
