I had a helicopter flying experience. I had a wonderful experience with flying pig- the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The actual flying experience was awesome. The pilot, Neil Day, made me feel relaxed and comfortable during the flight which made me feel confident and able to take control. Would love to do again!!

‘This was a wonderful, once in a lifetime trip, and I would like to thank everyone at Elstree Helicopters for making it possible, and the other pilots and safety pilots for an unbelievable trip. I cannot express how much I enjoyed it, even thought I was exhausted by the time I got back to Elstree.’

Chris Langdon already held a PPL(H) when he first came to Flying Pig but required a conversion to an EASA license. He then trained with us on Cabri G2 and was one of our intrepid explorers on that toured with us on our UK trip in June 2019

“After going for a trial lesson in the R22 I was hooked. I signed up to some lessons in the Cabri G2. This week I passed my test to obtain my License to fly a Helicopter. One of the best things I have ever done and the guys down at Elstree have become a part of my flying life. Don’t think about it…do it!!!”

“Fantastic Flying school, had an incredible day. The experience was amazing, I flew the Robinson R44 Helicopter, one word wow!
Everyone at Flying Pigs Helicopters is professional and from the moment I was greeted to the end of the experience each member of staff was awesome and made the experience so much fun.

Highly recommended A++, I will be back soon.”

“Had my first trial lesson with Flying Pigs two years ago and got hooked! Went on to do the full PPL(H) course and get my license here. The instructors are the very best, attentive and thorough. If you want to be a good, safe pilot, which I really hope is the case, this school is for you. They don’t just rush you for through the process for the sake of getting a license quickly. Since completing my course back in Spring, I’ve been coming back regularly for Self Fly Hire and check flights to maintain my skills. The only downside? Once up there you may never want to come down :)”
