Helicopter Experience Days: The Cotswolds boasts some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, so what better way to see this, than from the unique vantage point of a birds-eye view, in a highly versatile and thrilling form of transport? This 16 mile flight offers you the opportunity to enjoy a thrilling helicopter flight over the beautiful Cotswold countryside: including the rolling Gloucestershire hills, picturesque Cotswold villages and even the magnificent ruins of one of the largest Roman Amphitheatres in Britain - all from an aerial perspective. 

On arrival at Cotswold Airport, you will check-in with the ground crew and receive a full safety briefing. You’ll then board a helicopter flown by an experienced commercial pilot, where you’ll experience the amazing power of a chopper as you fly over the 34 mile circuit. There will be plenty of opportunities to take photos from the helicopter while you’re in the air, so don’t forget your camera!

The uniquely special vertical take-off, the motion of the chopper as it weaves through the sky, and the fast whirring blades above you guarantees a feeling of excitement you'll never forget. So whether you’re looking for a unforgettable way to celebrate a special occasion, an extra special gift for a family member of friend, or just to realise a personal dream, this awesome experience is for you!
