Helicopter & Life
"Fly a helicopter and change a life."
Flying a helicopter generates
happy passengers and pilots.
Let's take that happiness and pass it on.
Flying in a simulator is a fun and inexpensive way to be on the controls of a helicopter.
A real world, certified flight instructor will be on your side to give you flight lessons.
Once you master the helicopter in the virtual world, you will be well prepared for the real skies.
Try it out for free for one hour. Just email us and we will set up a time.
Short helicopter rides are a great way to raise funds for your non-profit organization. Helicopter & Life will provide helicopters and ground crew to support your fundraiser.
Flying in a helicopter is a privilege.
How about landing on top of Mount Everest?
How about rescuing sailors at sea during a stormy night?
A helicopter is a complicated machine capable of doing many things men never dreamed of.
As such, helicopters are outragously expensive to operate. As a result, flying in a helicopter will remain a life long dream for too many people.
Helicopter & Life's Mission is to change that.
Prospective Students:
Avoid costly mistakes by having the guidance of professional pilot along your flight path.
- Setting goals
- Choosing a training helicopter
- Selecting a flight school
- Paying for training
- Finding your first job
Our professional pilots were confronted with the same issues. Now, they have successful helicopter careers. Click here for more information.
