Flying Pig Helicopters - Borehamwood

Capt White and the rest of the Flying Pig Flying Family are amazing! It's a joy to fly with them and the PPL training here is top tier. I did my pilots license on the R22 about 2 or 4 years ago now and Elatrre as my home base I can't sing it's praises enough. It's a fantastic area to learn in, very vibrant as it's smack in the middle of 3 of the busiest airspaces in the world and if you learn to fly here you will know how to fly anywhere.

Had the first experience of trial flying lessons with Flying Pig Helicopters. Really pleased and impressed about a unique experience. The team is lovely.

Excellent company and a very friendly group of people, I loved my flying lesson and can’t wait to see the video and images that I ordered.

Not good for children.

Brought locally and direct as thought this would be better than buying a random voucher.
However.
Even though they sell children's experiences they don't undertake these at weekends, nor do they do this after school.
You have to turn up at 15:00 during the week.
How does that seem doable?
The vouchers also only last for 6 months.
Soo, asked to book for next School break, but obviously fully booked as they are the only company in the UK that only run Children's activities during school time.

Looked to book for the holiday after that but these bookings were "not released yet"
None of these very stringent restrictions were mentioned prior to booking.

If you were going to design a system to sell vouchers that couldn't be used, it would like like this.

Finally got him booked on and, after they changed the dates twice, flight went ahead.
Looking at time stamps on photos turns out a 15 min flight lasts just over 9 minutes.

He enjoyed the 9 minutes.

We wish we hadn't bothered.

No praise would be enough for this experience! Trust me everyone that can should do this at least once. This was a Virgin experience where you get to fly a helicopter Birthday Present from my wife. Very good friendly down to earth staff. Excellent briefing. Then there's the actual flight. OMG! The pilot/instructor was brilliant. Clear concise and friendly. The R22 I flew in gave so much feedback through the controls it was just incredible! Really loved everything about it and would like to thank the team for the experience! If your thinking of doing this or learning to fly Helicopters, stop thinking. Book with flying Pig today. 10/10. I will be booking lessons off the back of this for sure. See you soon.

Great school, thank you guys! All of the instructors are top notch, Paul, James and Adam. R22 I flew was like new and never skipped a beat. Food at the restaurant is very good, the chicken club was the best I have ever had. Nothing but good things to say, I will be back in October😎

What an amazing experience!!
Paul the pilot was lovely and friendly and so we're the receptionist Elaine and Chelby.
Only disappointment was the fact I got a text message after 5pm the day before the lesson, offering me a discount price if i were to purchase photos and the movie. But I needed to reply before 5pm. But I didn't get the message until 5.50pm. When mentioned this to Chelby the receptionist she told me she couldn't do anything. Was not very happy 😐 so please flying pig....You need to ensure those txt messages are being sent prior to 5pm for other people.
