We operate the only flying Vietnam Veteran Huey Helicopter in the UK. A flight in this iconic aircraft is an incredible, unique experience!
After many months of paperwork, training and box ticking we are now able to offer "DOORS OPEN" Flight Experience Days (weather permitting and at the Chief Pilots discretion). Flying within the CAA regulations and Government Guidelines.
We will be flying with 4 passengers on board all wearing a parachute type harness, anchored to the inside of the Huey. Full briefing and explanation of use will be shown on the day of flight.
If you are interested in flying with us with the "DOORS OPEN" please contact us on email sales@huey.co.uk or through our website www.huey.co.uk and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Our next flight dates will be published to our website and social media pages.

Gift Vouchers are available all year round and can be personalised for that special occasion.
