It was amazing and we will defintly be back! - This was a first time in the air for my Grandson and I. It was absolutly amazing! I cant begin to describe how exciting it was for us. Our Pilot J.D. and co pilot Taylor were the best. Friendly and very informative. They made an old lady and her Grandson's first flight experience THE BEST!!!

Enjoyable Trip - We had a cabin on Lake Douglas and after seeing a few helicopters fly over we decided to check it out from above. It was a smooth and enjoyable trip. Our pilot was very nice.

Definitely the highlight of our vacation! - We initially purchased the $20 tour but after seeing what that was limited to we chose to upgrade our flight. It didn't disappoint! We had a blast and it has been the highlight of our vacation so far! Jay made sure that our experience leading up to the flight and afterward was top notch and our pilot Tommy was amazing! Not only is he a great pilot but also very knowledgeable about the area! I would definitely recommend them to anyone heading to Pigeon Forge!

Good flight - For the first time with our family it was a good trip up! Our pilot was great. The flight unfortunately was only 6 minutes and cost us for a family of four over $100 so kind of a bummer that the ride was so short. But I’m sure it cost that in fuel :)

Nice experience. - Definitely the helicopter ride, even though short, not long enough to talk to the pilot and be told about what you’re flying over. Although it is very nice that they have things to do when you’re waiting for your flight. Staff was very friendly and polite, but we had a reservation, but showed up about an hour early. I asked if we’d be able to get on sooner but if we couldn’t, I understood I was told that we could and still ended up waiting an hour.would have rather been told to stick to the reservation time.
