Today
was "WOW" day, flying to the Grand Canyon! We boarded our plane and flew
45 minutes to Arizona and then got onto a bus to head to the Maverick
Base where we boarded our helicopter. I have never been on a helicopter
before and was a bit reticent about it but once in the air I never
looked back, it was really really enjoyable. We flew over land and then
ahead of us was the vast drop into the Canyon. Our pilot gave a good
commentary and made the flight very enjoyable. After we had our
mandatory photos taken we then got back on the bus and were driven to an
area where we could view the canyon and take pictures. Lunch was
provided and we had an hour left to finish the day. I managed to
purchase a small jar made by the Indians from the district and then it
was back to the plane for the trip back to Vegas, a great time had by all!

ReplyDeleteHi Scott, It was all the same company. Maverick Tour company run the aircraft Beech 1900's and also have a lot of helicopters. We saw more than ten helicopters belonging to them.
