So I'm interested in going to helicopter flight training, I went to take the tour at Sky and meet with Connie. She was very rude, straight to the point of nursing my dream bubble. Basically was saying everything like it was difficult and I couldn't do it. Instead of having a welcoming conversation and exciting that I want to join. Now a week after one of their training instructor and spent went down in Rowlett. I'm terrified to join now.

You need to stop flying below the 500 ft minimum set by the FAA. Your helicopters are regularly seen flying low across Garland, Rowlett, Rockwall, and Wylie. That's why you have helicopter crashes and pilots die. Follow the FAA laws or shut down your business. I'm tired of your helicopters buzzing my house and making a racket every other day.

I had been planning for a couple months to do my Discovery Flight on my 52nd birthday, January 19th, I got medically discharged from US Army WOFT before I even left for BASIC, 1989 and flying a Whirlybird had always been my TOP Bucketlist item ever since, but it's not exactly cheap, or without trepidation! But I was DETERMINED to do this NOW, however I caught a nasty winter cold before Christmas, and my asthma held onto the cough nearly 4 weeks, so doubts were creeping in?! I had wanted to do R66 Ultimate Discovery flight, but it's $795 more for my coveted jet start-up sound, than the $895 R44 ULTIMATE, this was with a Ft Worth Helicopter Co. So I delayed scheduling until my cough was defeated, 6 days from birthday. Unfortunately, the weather said rain! So I called to schedule for Monday, and it was 4:59 pm Fri and guy said they were already FULL up, after saying it was 5pm, everyone that could schedule me was already gone??? After a few unexpected bills, I couldn't afford the R66 Ultimate for 75 minutes anyway, it was $1,675!!! The R44 was $895 for Ultimate, but man told me their SIM was broken anyway (ULTIMATE comes with 30 minutes SIM too), so only 60 minutes ADVANCED was available, so I looked up price of "ONLY" $990 for turbine-powered R66 WHOO HOO I thought, and I knew it was hardly checked out, so I asked to do R66 Advanced course??? No pilots available he said, but then he promised he'd contact his pilots, and call me back, he NEVER did!!! So now, after waiting for promised call back that didn't come, now it was close to 6pm, I was DESPERATE and I had been searching Google for possible alternatives!!! I found Sky Helicopters in Garland and talked with Connie, she said she had one 2pm opening on Saturday, and a half hour Discovery was ONLY $275 in R44?! WHAT??? $275?! But only 30 minutes of flight time??? She continued to ASSURE me, my mental plate would be PLENTY full at 30 minutes, I trusted her, kinda, LOL So I told her I'd have to cb in morning, she said ok. I called my wife, asked if she could come with me to film and take pics, it was gonna be tight timing for her plans in morning, but she said she would!! I immediately called Connie back, 30 seconds before they closed at 6pm, Connie still answered and booked me for 2pm next day!!! I got there at 1:45, and was introduced to first-name Sawyer, I loved Capt. Sawyer and his name immediately, he even invited my wife to join us in classroom, then we did a brief SIM to explain cause and effect of all three controls, then we went out to R44 Raven I. Sawyer further instructed my wife where she could be to take pics, but after we were ready to start engine, where she need to be to safely film from. Let me tell you, I'd never ever even sat in ANY helicopter, but here I was PIC in right seat!!! I had watched dozens of hours on R44 and R66 start-ups, take-offs,landings, autorotations, etc, and I was upset, AT FIRST, that I wouldn't be allowed to take off nor land, but hindsight being 20/20, that was PURE WISDOM LOL I took full control several times throughout the flight, but like my own personal Guardian Angel, Capt. Sawyer had his feet and hands micro millimeters from controls in case I got in the weeds, which, in Ground effect, hovering, he had to come to my aid every time Hahahaha then he brought us in for landing and power down. All to say, it was the most challenging, rewarding, yet humbling experience of my life, and I'm hooked!!! It may be a couple months before I start lessons, but what a FANTASTIC and affordable experience...FWIW, I currently weigh 265/270, so the R22 was never an option for me. My recommendation is trust yourself, and save your money, go to Sky Helicopters in Garland Texas, Connie will steer you correctly!!! And yes,I bought a logbook to record my first half-hour, Happy birthday to me!!!

Amazing and thorough instruction with wonderful preparation in ground school before your first demo flight. I could not recommend Connie and Hope highly enough. I am hooked! So thorough and skilled as these pilots work with weather/news/and instruction having their expertise in alot of flight time at a high standard. Very blessed to have been connected to Hope as my instructor as she just passed the highest designation of ATP checkride which is the highest FAA standard. These guys are amazing and so thankful to connect with the

My boyfriend and I had our first helicopter ride today and it's was amazing! We had a great time flying around downtown dallas and loved talking to our pilot. They make sure you feel safe and answer any questions you have. Connie was extremely helpful with planning our trip. I highly suggest using Sky helicopters for an experience of a lifetime. We will be back.

Ok, so there isn’t much competition, but Sky Helicopters has a good fleet of affordable Robinson Helicopters and they have always been willing and helpful when I’ve called them to schedule an aerial photography mission. The pilots have all worked well with me on short notice and have been fully professional in their flying.

Top shelf! This experience was an anniversary surprise for me, and it was extraordinary. We arrived and were greeted by smiles and a kitty! Connie and the team did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable. After checking in and watching a short intro video, we were invited to the helipad. My husband and I actually witnessed a proposal before hopping in! So cool to see. Our pilot was Steve and he made us feel like royalty! I could tell he was ready to host whatever kind of tour his passengers were looking for. My husband and I asked questions and pointed out familiar landmarks, and it was like we were all hanging out. I imagine a couple climbed aboard ready to ignore him and treat it more like a date, he would have obliged. Steve narrated his movements and kept us posted on what was coming next. He gave us an incredible flight and unforgettable experience while maintaining safety as priority number one. I learned later that Miss Connie took the time to discuss the event at length with my husband while planning beforehand. Highly recommend visiting SKY and booking a tour!

Pilot and Staff of SKY Helicopters were very friendly and supportive. They did everything they could to ensure that we had a wonderful experience. They are very welcoming and gives opportunity for us to capture photos and videos.

I can’t say enough about the kindness of these people! First of all, the ride was super fun, the pilot was incredibly knowledgeable and the people running the office were just amazing! I had a flat tire when I got off the chopper and the sweetest lady got her air machine and pumped aired up! On top of that, I left my camera filter and they called me and told me! This place is amazing and I honestly haven’t had customer service like this in a very long time!

I'm a pro photographer - last flew with Sky for a photo flight of the city of Dallas in Sept of 2020... yeah its been a while, but they were awesome. The pilot was extremely professional, had done photo flights before, and did amazing work to get me the angles I needed for the shoot. The prices were very reasonable - I flew in the R22 - and obtained some great shots of Dallas and the surrounding metro area. I intend to do another flight and plan to book it again with Sky for a sunset aerial photo flight. Thanks guys... this review is a longtime coming.

I had an AMAZING time on the helicopter ride!!! Everyone that works here was so sweet and welcoming. Our pilot was so friendly. I recommend SKY Helicopters 100%!! I had an incredible time, definitely want to go back and do it again! I booked the 6:00pm flight for 2. They let you take pictures before and after and are super knowledgeable about everything you are flying over. I was so excited & they definitely went above and beyond to make it a great experience!

Such a great experience! The lady was so kind and welcoming and helped my boyfriend with his proposal plan. The pilot was super friendly as well and we had a fantastic time! Would absolutely recommend this place.

Sky helicopters has been my son’s choice for helicopter training all through private, instrument and commercial helicopter R44 training. A fantastic crew of instructors - every single one has been really great. Great people - a wonderful place.

Fantastic experience. Really nice people, professional work and an unforgettable 30min.

Took a demo in a R-44 yesterday. Arrived 30 min early and was greeted by Tim, who would also be my pilot/CFI. He was patient, encouraging, and I felt safe knowing I was in good/knowledgeable hands. He allowed me to take controls several times and I never sensed that it made him nervous, he encouraged it and wanted me to actually get a feel for all of it. Just what I needed in a situation that’s completely new and unknown to me. Connie was also amazing, the backbone of the whole organization. A realist and straight shooter, which I appreciate. There were no gray areas, she sets the expectation and I’m thankful. She cares about people and safety, not merely making a dime. Excellent experience all together.

Great experience and friendly staff

Beautiful fleet with experienced instructors. Look no further for your helicopter training. 10/10 recommend!

I would 10/10 recommend! My bestfriend and I came from Detroit and had a blast. The staff was very warm and welcoming, especially the lady who sits at the front desk- she also took our reservations over the phone- and our pilot. Our pilot, I can’t remember his name (maybe it was sawyer), but I remember he could speak German lol, was very knowledgeable and fun spirited. This was definitely the highlight of our trip.

Very awesome experience flying over the Dallas area. All of our first time in a helicopter. My youngest 1st time flying. Staff and pilot were friendly and informative. The craft itself was comfy. Thanks for a bucket list experience.
