Fleet information
2 x Robinson R44 Raven II Helicopters Why the Robinson Helicopters? They are flexible, and great for Scenic Flights.
Every passenger has a window seat – allowing passengers a full view of the subjects ex: Eduard Bohlen Shipwreck. Great for photography, as the doors can be removed and 3 photographers can each enjoy the flight with open “window seats” and can handle their equipment comfortably.
Flight time can easily be adjusted as we are not fixed on the routes we offer. We can change the route for the time allocated according to your needs. Robinson R44 Raven II is heavier “lightweight class” helicopters that can handle turbulence and offers a smooth flight in winds.
They are easy to handle and responds immediately, should you miss a point of interest and want to turn around for capturing. You have contact with the pilot through headsets which allows for the comfort of conversation during the flight.
