Right there at the LOTO toll bridge is a company that began quick helicoptor tours this year. Not a novel idea nor the 1st to try, but give these guys a shot.
The two pilots are Iraq vets in their early 30's and great people. I surprised my wife with a ride Sat night at sunset and it was a stunning view of the lake. Took us out over the channel and then over the out let mall. On over to make a pass over party cove and out over the park. Back around Horseshoe bend and pass over the dam for $200. Bout' a 25 minute ride and it was really a thrill.

Thanks for the lead... may have to surprise my better half, too.

They are right in the parking lot of Paul's Supermarket on business 54.

My wife and daughter took a ride with them last year. They loved it and it makes for some cool pictures.

Do you have a number or info to get in contact with them? Sounds like a fun trip.

$200 is a bargain...

$200 a person would be more like it

Tried to get my wife and/or son to go with me when I was there a couple weeks ago but both chickened out. Glad to hear the positive feedback on the ride. May have to do it in 3 weeks when I am back down.

Some of the best money I've spent as well. Needed pics of the house.

Nice little "shack" on the lake!
