Niagara Falls Helicopters: My first time inside a helicopter

  • 16 years ago
My first adventure in Niagara Falls was really exciting: a scenic helicopter tour with Niagara Helicopters that would allow me to see one of the seven natural wonders of the world from the air. I had never been in a helicopter, so this definitely was going to be very special. I met the crew at Niagara Helicopters and even had a chance to interview the owner, Ruedi Hafen, a decorated helicopter pilot who has received many awards for running rescue missions and for his successful entrepreneurship. I then went up with my young pilot René who also hails from Switzerland and who gave me a personalized up-close look at Niagara Falls. He explained the cockpit of the helicopter to me and we even took off with a little dance. It was exhilarating to fly along the path of the Niagara River and to see all the main attractions of Niagara Falls from the air.
