Know Before You Go
- Cameras are permitted on board and recommended. Your pilot will create a video of your actual flight utilizing their camera system which includes a cabin camera and nose camera (sold separately).
- Clothing should be comfortable and casual. Dark shirts or tops are recommended for photo taking. Bright colored clothing may put a reflective glare on the helicopter plexiglass windows and reflect in your photos. Dark clothing helps to eliminate the reflection.
