30th Wedding Anniversary Helicopter flight around Melbourne

Heli — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:51:49 +0000

It makes it all worthwhile for this blogwriter and our pilots when we receive nice notes from our customers about our service. We truly believe in our hospitality ethics that every single passenger is a VIP. Peters note below was really appreciated by the pilot.

Thank you again for a wonderful experience celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary. My wife Karen had never been in a helicopter before and Kane was fantastic in calming all her nerves and made the flight something we will both remember for such a long time. We also appreciated Kane and his fantastic commentary as we cruised over the Westgate, Williamstown, St Kilda and the city hi-risers. Our thanks to you also for organising the event – one (1) simple phone call and not one (1) issue. I know have to come up with a bigger and better event for the 40th anniversary – I’m certain your group will have something for us to consider.

Thanks again.

Peter and Karen

Heli Experiences flies Indian Wedding Party

Heli — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:38:20 +0000

With all the colour of Bollywood, we recently had the pleasure to fly the nervous groom to his wedding in our new white robinson 44 helicopter. With around 400 guests waiting at the reception, it was certainly one of our pilots most watched landings. All of us at Heli Experiences wish the groom and bride the best of happiness in their future life together and many thnaks to ravi for all the arrangements.

Above the proud parents and groom, below the VIP wedding party and the helicopter takes off for the reception destination.

Another Passenger Milestone

Heli — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 22:32:37 +0000

Whilst some pre flight nerves were understandably present, once Mrs Durrant from Kerang got on board it was a gerat experience the whole way. Flyinng to the Yarra Valley for lunch in a helicopter is not your everyday activity. Congrats to Mrs Durrant on a big achievement. Again we received a nice note of appreciation from her daughter Heather, see below the photo.

Pre flight with pilot kyhala

Please convey our thanks to all your staff for a great day yesterday. Chris, Mum and myself thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I am sure Mum will be telling all her neighbours in Kerang about her trip.
I never thought my Mum would ever get to experience the joy of flight and with the help of your experienced staff it all went perfectly.
Looking forward to our next flight with you
Thanks
Heather

Photography from a Helicopter by Will Watt

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:35:10 +0000

We have had many stills photographers fly with us and received many examples of their work, the pictures below, I thought really stood out as great aerial shots of everyday sights with a certain abstract twist which makes them stand out also as narrative pictures, they invoke images and meanings. See what you think. All images copyright Will Watt. if you want to find out more visit melbourne helicopters website.

There Once was a Batchelor called Marcus Barber

admin — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:33:32 +0000

One of the most rewarding parts of running a helicopter tourism company is looking after our passengers special moments in their lives. It’s usually a once in a lifetime experience for them and both this blog writer and our pilots sincerely enjoy these special flights. So this story starts with a young fella called Marcus who rang me to provide a special trip for him and his girlfriend. Below is their story in pics sent to us by them.

Someones feeling a bit nervous! The heli approaches the mystery destination…

Destination is Cape Schanck Lightstation…girlfriend has no idea….after a very exciting coastal landing at the cape, it’s time for action….

After some relaxing in the old Light Keepers cottage, where a wood fire was burning for them on arrival, and then……..

The happy couple below after he finally popped the question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were sent this kind note with these pics,

Here are a few photos from our day at Cape Schanck.

Thanks again we really had an amazing day, everything was perfect.

Cheers,

Marcus.

Cruise Ships circled by their own Passengers

A very entertaining diversion from the 30 min city orbit flight by a great family of Americans. They decided to get our pilot to circle their own ship to get photos from the air. Great idea!, afterwards our transfer vehicle dropped them off at the Melbourne Institution “Pelegrinis” for a great home style Italian lunch. Very Happy Campers indeed! Above shot of the cruise ships. Below another happy group of locals take in the sights.

Many thanks to all the staff at The Dunes Golf Links on the Mornington Peninsula and in particular Tim Bateman who ensured the event was a day not to be missed and congratulations to young Croker who took our the event, certainly a name to watch out for on the tour in the years to come.
