⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the opportunity to fly with Flying Pig Helicopters at Elstree Aerodrome and it was genuinely one of the most exciting and memorable experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I arrived, the whole team made me feel welcome. The check-in process was smooth, the safety briefing was thorough and easy to understand, and the staff were friendly, professional and clearly passionate about what they do. Even before taking off, there was a real sense of excitement watching the helicopters arrive and depart from the aerodrome. The flight itself was absolutely incredible. Seeing Hertfordshire and the surrounding area from above gives you a completely different perspective, and the feeling of lifting vertically off the ground is something I will never forget. One of the highlights was having the opportunity to take the controls under the supervision of the instructor. It wasn’t just a sightseeing flight; it felt like a genuine flying experience. The pilot was fantastic, explaining everything clearly throughout the flight and making the experience enjoyable and informative. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or someone trying a helicopter for the first time, the team make you feel comfortable and at ease. What surprised me was the range of experiences available. There are options for different budgets, with introductory flights starting from around £178, junior experiences from approximately £199, couples’ experiences from around £248, and larger London skyline or studio tour experiences ranging from approximately £369 to over £600 depending on the package and helicopter selected. They also offer gift vouchers, making it an excellent present for birthdays, anniversaries or special occasions. If you’re looking for deals, it’s worth checking their website, Virgin Experience Days, Buyagift, Red Letter Days and Groupon from time to time, as special offers and discounted vouchers occasionally become available. Booking directly can also provide access to upgrades and additional experiences such as photos and in-flight videos. The facilities at Elstree Aerodrome were excellent, with plenty of parking and a café nearby where you can relax before or after your flight. Friends and family can also watch the helicopters from the ground, which adds to the overall experience. Although helicopter flying is undoubtedly a luxury experience, I genuinely felt it was worth every penny. The professionalism of the staff, the quality of the aircraft, the opportunity to actually fly the helicopter and the unforgettable views combine to create an experience that stays with you long after you’ve landed. I would highly recommend Flying Pig Helicopters to anyone looking for a unique adventure, an unforgettable gift, or perhaps the first step towards learning to fly. I would happily do it again.

I first visited the school in 2021 after having met Paul White on his FORTNIGHTLY FREE ONLINE GROUND SCHOOL. I was immediately welcomed with open arms into a school which is as comfortable as it it professional. The training is to a very high standard, and the chief flying instructor is meticulous about the quality of tuition. Not to mention that with the atmosphere there after a few visits, quickened by yourself supplying cake, sandwiches or various treats you will feel like you are part of the furniture there and will never want to leave! Come for the helicopters, stay for the family!

Great R44 London Skyline flight today, thoroughly recommend 👍Staff were fantastic from start to finish, professional, friendly and thoroughly focused on providing a safe but enjoyable experience. Having not flown for over 25 years it was a trip down memory lane to fly an R44 again out of Elstree, and Capt Holly was first class in giving me my mojo back to wonder why I ever stopped, it all came flooding back with her lovely encouragement albeit not quite as quickly as perhaps 25 years ago 😂😂😂 Thanks 👍👍👍👍

It was a really fun experience, and our instructor was really nice and was always ready to help. The experience was definitely worth it and I’d definitely do it again! Emmie age 11.

Absolutely amazing! I booked a trial flight in the R44 as a birthday present for my wife. Elaine was super friendly and helpful in the booking process. Tony was a wonderful, fun host when we arrived and Dhillon was a fantastic, calm and confidence inspiring instructor. I also thought that this was competitive priced when compared to other local options around NW London. Thanks so much guys! Kate and I loved the whole experience today!

Capt White and the rest of the Flying Pig Flying Family are amazing! It's a joy to fly with them and the PPL training here is top tier. I did my pilots license on the R22 about 2 or 4 years ago now and Elatrre as my home base I can't sing it's praises enough. It's a fantastic area to learn in, very vibrant as it's smack in the middle of 3 of the busiest airspaces in the world and if you learn to fly here you will know how to fly anywhere.
