I just took my whole family up! That helicopter ride changed our weekend getaway from "great" to "the best vacation ever" ! I have 5 children, ages 3-10, so you can imagine their eyes lighting up when i drove up the hill and the helicopter blades were spinning! I played it off with, "I hope they let us get close where we can see it???" They flipped out when they realized that this was gonna be their first trip ever in any aircraft. My little boy (age 6) is fascinated with flight and even brought his little planes on this trip in his pocket. As he was going to bed, he went on and on about how this was the best trip ever and now he knew how to fly his planes. To say the least, my children's imagination was sparked and you cant put a price on that! I know there are signs all over this town claiming that they have the "best value" for entertainment. But I'll argue that there is no comparison to the investment I just made in my children with a helicopter ride! And the pilot doesn't know it, but i took my first ride with him when he was offering $5 rides in and old bubble shield helicopter 20 years ago! I still remember the old hand painted "$5 rides" plywood sign propped up, and the thrill of my first flight in a helicopter! I always dreamed of growing a family and sharing moments like this with my children. So a special thank you to flyscenic for still offering the "best value in town" !

My boyfriend and I flew with Scenic about 2 weeks ago. I have been procrastinating on posting, but I keep looking at the pictures of how much fun we had and the experience not only in the helicopter, but also the hospitality, and I had to post something. We absolutely loved the ride and will definitely be doing it again. Our experience started as we walked into the door. We weren’t sure if the flying conditions would have deterred our plans, but the employees ensured a great ride and that is indeed is what came out of our tour. Even though we were already excited about the trip, they were so enthusiastic about making sure our experience was memorable. You would have thought that we had known them for years. The customer service, the flight, the conversation and the pictures were all absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to come back and visit. If you are visiting the Smoky Mountain area I would highly suggest and refer anyone to Fly Scenic so they can get that WOW experience just as we did.

My husband and I went there today because I have always wanted to fly, but I am terrified of heights. I just went to sit and watch the helicopter land and take off. One of the girls told me I needed to see the helicopter up close and it would help me. To make a long story short, after all was said and done we rode. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! We are already planning our next flight! The staff is awesome! You guys are great. Keep up the good work and see you soon!

I went up for my first helicopter ride with you guys this past fall, and it was amazing! The staff were all very professional and informative, and to fly in a helicopter is a thrill like no other. I can't wait to return to your area next year...another flight is definitely on my 'to do' list. Thanks!!

Just wanted to thank you folks so much for a great adventure yesterday. Everyone was so nice and we really appreciated the way you went out of your way to make it easier for my wife to board from her wheelchair. It was my son's birthday weekend and he was thrilled to get to ride shotgun on the flight. Our pilot was real nice and answered all of his questions about flying the helicopter.
The 'thumbs up' pic from the cockpit is a great idea and a real keeper for us. You should post that one on your wall because you won't find a happier kid than Jonathan was at that moment.
Anyway just wanted to take a minute and thank you for all of your kindness. We have already started telling everyone to ignore the "enemy helicopters" and make sure they come fly with you folks. We will definitely be back! Thanks again!

He made my wife's first flying experience fantastic!!

My husband and I took our second trip with Scenic on August 23, 2011. It was great! We took the Scenic Special tour and loved it. It just wasn't long enough. Our pilot Isaiah was wonderful. As was Rachel and the young lady that took our photos. My husband only had one complaint, there weren't any in flight snacks. He thought that with a name like "Lunchbox" our pilot would have had some handy.HAHA. You can count on us flying with you again on our next trip down. We tell everyone they need to take a flight with your group. It was well worth the money.
