Helicopters

Can you hire a helicopter like you can a limo?

I know you will be restricted on numbers and how long you can go around for but just wondered if you can hire one.

Re: Helicopters

Im guessing you need to be a fully trained pilot, need a good insurance, and need a lot cash....... but it is probably possible to hire one somewhere.

This place might help...

Re: Helicopters

Looking at them prices I think we will forget it. More than what I thought it would be.

Re: Helicopters

Yeah its really exspensive which is annoying as it would probably be quite fun.
Have you looked into other possibilities, eg. hot air baloon ?

Re: Helicopters

We would prefer a helicopter as you can use them at night, hot air balloon not really my cup of tea.
