(Discovery Flight on 8/25/18) I've been obsessed with helicopters since I was young, but never had the opportunity to fly one until I received a discovery flight as a gift. The overall experience was incredible. Their office is attached directly to their hangar, so you walk through the door and you're standing right next to their Robinson helicopters. The instructor, Jeff, was professional, but also very easy going. He had no problem answering every question I had (I had a lot); you could tell he actually cared and was passionate about flying. It was a beautiful day out, and he gave me the option of flying with the doors on or off of the R22 (we did off). After taking off, I got to take control of doing some maneuvers, and even had the opportunity to try and hover (which was harder than he made it look). I talked to Jeff about my dream of flying, and he gave me a lot of great advice about getting a license and all of the opportunities there are.

The only issue I had was finding out where to go! You have to drive along the backside, and go down a small dirt road to go to the office. For someone who had never been to a small airport like that, it was a little intimidating driving next to the hangars because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be driving there or not. All I had to do was call, and the directions were easily explained.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone with (or even without) a dream of flying to call and set up a discovery flight. You won't be...

We had a fantastic experience with Platinum Helicopters. We wanted something a bit different to celebrate our anniversary and decided to take a quick tour of New Jersey / Philadelphia. We're from the UK and wanted to get more of a sense of scale of the US. COVID has denied us the chance to travel as intended so we thought this would get us something at least.

The team was very responsive and helpful with suggestions of flight options with varying budgets and Jimmy (our pilot) called us early on Saturday to warn us of a potential plan change due to The President flying into the area and causing a no-fly zone. He offered us flexibility on whether to go earlier the same day or find another day. We went for the same day and he quickly got down to the airport to make it happen.

My first flight in a helicopter and it was super-smooth and Jimmy offered interesting snippets of info on the way to the Delaware Gap and then maneuvered around so we could get some pics.

It was a fantastic experience all round....

From the first point of contact with their office staff (Alicia was our POC) to the day after 'thank you' text from the pilot (Evan), we literally cannot say enough good things about Platinum Helicopter and their team. We hired them to fly in and land at my son's 2nd birthday party and it was an absolute hit. The communication from the office staff and pilot could not have been better. We knew exactly what was going on and what to expect each step of the process. The helicopter and its pilot were equally impressive and the guests were amazed as they were invited to check it out inside and out while the pilot interacted with them and answered all of their questions. Thanks Platinum Helicopters, If i could give you 10 starts i would because you deserve it. Cheers and keep up the...
