This was my first experience of flying in a helicopter. The day was sunny and bright, the ground staff were informative and helpful. The pilot Dan made the experience an enjoyable one. The take off was smooth and we reached cruising height quickly and were soon able to enjoy the views of this part of Lancashire. Whilst moving Northward towards Rochdale, it became apparent that there was some crosswinds but this was minimised by the exceptional skill of the pilot Dan. A truly wonderful experience. Many thanks for a wonderful celebration of my 70th birthday.
