Sorry, but the helicopter only has two seats, so only one passenger can participate at one time.

Can I videotape inside the helicopter? How long is actual in-air time?

Alyona asked 8 months, 1 day, 12 hours, and 22 minutes ago - 1 answer

The helicopter is equipped with a Go Pro camera recording the flight. You have the option of purchasing this video for an additional charge. You may bring your own camera, however, for the best learning experience with the helicopter controls, you should be hands-free.

Hi there! I was wondering whether, if I buy this, that I'll get 30 minutes in the air, or whether that's the time for the whole experience.

i would like this to be a date thing, how does that work?

Thanks for the question!

If two of you wish to each use a Groupon for this offer, you may. You can take the instruction at the same time. However, the helicopter has only two seats - one for the pilot, one for the student. So you can take turns of when you are actually in the helicopter. Hope that helps!
