The launch pad is at the Schaumburg Regional Airport just outside Chicago.
For years, whirley-bird watchers have marveled at the beauty, grace, and mating rituals of the Hughes 269C through binoculars. One-up observers by climbing into the cockpit for a 30-minute journey that follows the flight plan of your imagination. How the half hour is used is completely up to you.

This intro flight takes place inside an FAA-certified helicopter and is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be at the controls of a non-virtual chopper strafing and buzzing through the Chicagoland skies.
