Travel Niagara Falls – Helicopter Tour: Demonstrating controls


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.

    I feel sorry for the pilot. I would hate having to explain everything to tourists on multiple flights a day. Airevac is so much easier because your passenger is usually not all that concious.

    I love it! She immediately says “Now tell me, what is this between your legs?” and then follows that up with “..and what did you call that stick?” Hilarious, mmmm-hmmmm, mmmm-hmmmm, uh-huh, ok, ok, alright – now what does that stick do again exactly?

    I’m sure he’s a great pilot, but I hope he never instructed..
