It is common knowledge that the Pterodactyl Helicopters Team can be found at many regional shows and event days – but were you aware that you can book one of our state of the art choppers as a special feature for events of your own?

Whether you are getting ready to host a corporate day out for your employees and their families, are planning a surprise birthday party with substantial numbers , or it is your turn to organise the next epic family reunion; there is no get together that can’t be enhanced by the presence of a helicopter. The pilots and ground crew at Pterodactyl Helicopters are old hands at running back-to-back joy flights at busy show grounds and will help make your day out a great experience for all involved.

Most outdoor locations – think golf courses, lake side meadows, wide open ranges all over South-East Queensland and even some parks in more urban settings – are perfectly suited to serving as our temporary helipad for the day. You simply determine where you would like to spend the day socialising, enjoying a beverage and take turns getting your kicks in your hired chopper.
Depending on what type of terrain we have to work with, our outstanding pilots are bound to cram as much action into a relatively short flight as humanly possible. Whether it be some low flying, light manoeuvres of giving you the best angles for viewing some spectacular scenery – once back on the ground our passengers can truly lay claim to having experienced the magic of helicopter flying at its finest.

Our Joy Flight choppers can take two passengers at a time, so you can share this special moment with your favourite co-worker, your favourite auntie or a random stranger you just met at the party – the experience is sure to deliver in any scenario. Let’s face it, being treated to a surprise spin (or two) in a private helicopter is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face – whether it serves to raise moral in the workplace or prove once and for all that your family really knows how to have a good time.

Hiring a helicopter for a private function may sound a little bit outrageous – which it is, in the best possible sense of the word – but we at Pterodactyl Helicopters believe it does not have to cost the world. We do require a minimum number of guests keen to go on a five-minute spin in a helicopter and our prices vary depending on how far your chosen party location is from our Lake Manchester hangar, but if you contact our friendly staff with a specific inquiry our competitive rates are sure to surprise you.
So, if you want to make sure your next do is the business, give us a call and secure a chartered helicopter for your event today!
