Full Collective Experience

Be a Helicopter Pilot for a Day

Ever watched a helicopter skim the skyline and thought, “I wish I could fly one?” AtHVI’s Full Collective experience, you can.

Why Choose This?

Because scenic flights are for tourists..
This is for doers, thrill-chasers, and bucket-list conquerors.
No simulator. No video game. Just you, the machine, and the sky.
