Take a Discovery Flight

Sit in the pilot's seat and fly a helicopter for the first time, or sit back and take in the view. From $140 — your first step into the air.

Your First Flight

The fastest way to find out if aviation is for you.

Whether you want to start a career as a helicopter pilot or simply take a scenic flight, our $140 demo flight is your ticket. You can sit in the pilot's seat and fly a helicopter for the first time under the supervision of a professional flight instructor — or sit back, relax, and enjoy the views of Oregon wine country from above.

What to Expect on the Day

If you decide to take the controls, your pilot/instructor will walk you through the operational systems of the helicopter, and you’ll receive official safety training on the Robinson R-22. From there, you’ll handle the cyclic and collective with hands-on coaching the whole way — no prior flight experience required.

Prefer to ride along? Bring a camera. The Willamette Valley from a thousand feet up is a different planet — neat patchworks of vineyard, the Coast Range to the west, and Mt. Hood cutting the eastern skyline on a clear day.

What’s Included

  • Pre-flight briefing and helicopter walk-around
  • Official Robinson R-22 safety training
  • Hands-on time at the controls (optional)
  • Flight time over the Willamette Valley
  • Post-flight debrief with your instructor
