Why fly with Pterodactyl Helicopters?
Oh my goodness, greatest helicopter company ever!
- AmyBrisbaneWedding Helicopter Transfers in 2015
Captain Mike was so amazing during the whole planning phase, truly making me feel super special arranging a mega mega stretched Limo with champagne (citycoastlimo) - not to mention all the emails leading up to the big day making me feel famous - to pick my 3 bridesmaids, my mother and myself with a massive wedding dress (talking 4kg massive) on to then take us to the helipad where there was...wait for it, not one but two helicopters (I'd only organised one and he never charge me any more). We were all in the air for at least 30 min.
Love you guys Pterodactyl Helicopters! Can't wait to meet again, this time with my husband for one of your pub crawls.
Thanks again Captain Mike you legend!
From the happiest bride ever Amy x
Lynne had a fantastic day, on her 71st Birthday, riding in a Helicopter, she has always wanted to fly in one, where I made her dream come true. The flight over Wivenhoe Dam and Lake Manchester and the surrounding countryside was awesome, and more spectacular than she could of imagined from the air, and a trip that will last a lifetime.
