The Ideal Tour Helicopter: Robinson R44
We fly the fuel-efficient 4-seat Robinson R44 helicopter, manufactured by the Robinson Helicopter Company in Torrance, California. The R44 is known for excellent safety and reliability, smooth handling, and superior comfort.
The spacious cockpit contains two rows of seats. The 2 by 2 seat configuration provides for one passenger seat in the front next to the pilot, and two passenger seats in the rear of the helicopter. All seats are window seats and the open cabin design allows for unobstructed viewing.
Personal belongings can be stored safely in the baggage compartments under each seat. Two-way intercom permits spontaneous communication with your pilot. In every aspect, the R44 is ideally suited to providing you with a comfortable, enjoyable and safe air tour.
