No idea but i would love to do it, seems to be a hobby of the rich so i guess it would be expensive.

Would be interesting to know 😉

This is the price list from the first company that came up on Google:

Obviously you could shop around and get a better price but using that as a guideline it looks like it will be massively expensive. I’d have to save up for about 3 months for just an hour.

I used to work for Gary Elson at Bournemouth Helicopters now Solent Flight.
Top guy. Great fun and loves to party.
Good instructor, good aircraft and fair prices.
Nice scenery and you’ll learn to deal with a busy, international airport as well all quiet grassy fields. Very important!

it’s for a birthday present.
and it has to be prefect.

bournemouth is a good possibility as isn’t too far for me to take the person. however near london is also good, as the present getter lives there.

I don’t know what London schools will be able to offer but if it’s for a ‘one off’ flight, the Chicken Run on the north side of the airfield at Bournemouth is an awsome ride.
It’s just a small, winding stream that runs for about a mile with tall trees on each side, just far enough appart that you can fit a helicopter between them.
At 70 or 80 knots you’ll feel like you in Airwolf.

Last time I was at the school they had just bought a little Enstrom thing. 3 seats for nearly the same price as the 2 seater R22 so you can go too.
