Awesome experience!

It was my first time flying in a helicopter and I enjoyed every part of it! The pilot was very professional, pleasant & made me feel comfortable the whole flight. She hade lots of knowledge about the areas we flew over, also the flight was very smooth. We flew over the Hover Dam & Grand Canyon then landed on the West Rim where I was able to visit two viewing points. I also got a bird's eye view the strip. I would recommend to anyone rather it's your fist time flying or not.
