Report
Carson was a great pilot, so accommodating regarding the weather. This was our first helicopter flight and he made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. We had 4 kids, 4 and under with us and he took the time to set the up to watch us take off. Thanks for being a very exciting part of my birthday celebration!
