Sunset helicopter flights over Lake George, the islands, and the High Peaks — arranged by request. One flight per evening, weather and light permitting.
By booking or purchasing, you acknowledge the inherent risks of helicopter flight and agree to our Liability Waiver & Assumption of Risk.
Photographers, couples, anniversaries, proposals, milestone birthdays. The sunset slot books out first every week — sometimes 7 to 14 days ahead. Reserve early; weather cancellations rebook free.
We fly a single sunset slot per night — the one that lands you over the lake exactly as the sun crests the western ridges. No assembly-line tours.
Private buyout. Whoever's flying with you isn't sharing the helicopter with strangers. Window seat for everyone.
Doors-off available with prior notice for serious photographers. Standard cabin offers a clean window angle from every seat.
Champagne staged at the hangar before takeoff, post-flight photo, optional certificate. Tell us what you're celebrating at booking.
Per-flight buyout. Pricing is total — split among up to 3 passengers however you like.
Fuel surcharge — 100LL is up $1 a gallon. $12.50 on flights up to 30 minutes, $25 on 60-minute flights, charged once per flight. We'll remove it when fuel prices come back down.
If you're celebrating something specific, tell us at booking. Champagne staging in the hangar, post-flight photo, optional photographer recommendation, optional landing-spot certificate. We've helped propose, celebrate 50-year anniversaries, and surprise multi-generation family reunions.
