Must Do while in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg - Adam was fantastic and a good local guide. The flight was smooth and the experience awesome! The headsets are kinda neat as they add to the experience and adventure. Would definitely recommend in the fall. Planning to fly again upon returning to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg next time!

Wonderful company and thoughtful crew. - Matt was our pilot and was extremely knowledgeable about information of the area. Not to mention very nice. This company also is donating their helicopters and pilots in the hurricane relief efforts. We are very happy with our choice of using them. It was my first time on a helicopter which was an amazing experience and we have Matt to thank for that!
