Testimonials

My experience from initial enrollment to completion of my training, Corporate Helicopters has been nothing short of absolute excellence. The atmosphere and environment provided by the staff and CFI’s consistently maintained the utmost level of professionalism, always keeping safety a top priority. Lessons were concise and well integrated into the current publications for Helicopter/Rotorcraft Aviation. Corporate Helicopters provided me with a knowledge base and pilot skillset that when carried into my FAA Check Ride, my FAA Examiner (Robinson Helicopters Chief Test Pilot!) was inclined to comment that my Oral Exam was excellent, that I was in fact very well prepared, further stating that my Practical Test was of Commercial Pilot quality. He then complemented my CFI Bryan Pederson as well as Corporate Helicopters for producing an excellent addition to the General Aviation community. Bryan accompanied me to the Check Ride and while initially nervous of my CFI being present it was a confidence building experience, many of which Bryan has provided throughout my training. I highly recommend Corporate Helicopters for anyone seeking Flight Instruction.
Vince Carter, Private Pilot
Very fun experience. We got to fly over the hotel and got some great pictures. The pilot was so cool. The price was good, the least expensive, good value. We took the 30 minute tour. They even accommodated a last minute change I had to make before takeoff. Thanks Corporate Helicopters!

I surprised my girlfriend with the Surf and Turf tour for her birthday. All of the staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our pilot Terry was outstanding! He had us laughing the whole time and was very knowledgeable about all the areas we toured. He even sang her happy birthday! I would without a doubt recommend Corporate Helicopters and be sure to request Terry – you will not be disappointed! Thanks again for the unforgettable experience!

My boyfriend surprised me and took me on the “Surf and Turf” tour for Valentine’s Day. It was incredible!
Our favorite parts were seeing the San Diego Wild Animal Park from the air, seeing a whale in La Jolla, flying by downtown, and seeing Coronado.
Our pilot / tour guide was Bryan, and he couldn’t have been nicer. He was more than happy to loop around and see a couple nice houses that we liked. I really recommend it!
Shannon Nicol
First time on a helicopter and it was such a memorable experience. Terry was our pilot, but so much more than a pilot, a comedian and a real tour guide! I’ll never forget this experience and the beautiful views all over San Diego. Definitely recommend Corporate Helicopters if you are looking for a tour of a lifetime.

Our tour of San Diego with Corporate Helicopters exceeded our greatest expectations. The flight provided spectacular views of San Diego’s treasures narrated by our well informed pilot.
