Along the WayFlying M Air will fly one or two passengers with limited luggage from Phoenix Sky Harbor to Seattle’s Boeing Field on any dates between May 10 and 20, 2010. The passengers can choose the flight path (subject to fine-tuning by the pilot for various FAA and safety reasons) and take up to four days to complete travel. The flight normally takes approximately 10 hours and can be completed comfortably in two days. You pick the route and make your dream helicopter excursion a reality.

It does not cover the cost of ground transportation, hotels, meals, or any other extras. Passengers are expected to begin the flight at Wickenburg or Phoenix, AZ and complete the flight at Boeing FIeld in Seattle, WA.

Special Offer for April 13-14: Lake Powell Photo Flights

Flying M Air will be at Page Airport on beautiful Lake Powell from midday on April 13 through midday on April 14. While there, we will be offering doors-off photo flights over Lake Powell for photographers or videographers. We can accommodate up to two people, depending on weight.

There is no helicopter operator with more experience flying over Lake Powell than Flying M Air. We know the lake and the areas favored by photographers. We’ve conducted more than 50 photo flights over the lake in the past four years, from Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry, all the way up to the confluence of the Green River and Colorado Rivers in Canyonlands National Park. We’ve also explored the San Juan River Arm to Goosenecks and beyond and the Escalante Arm to its entry into the lake’s main body.

Be Spontaneous and Save!

Normally we charge $495/hour per hour for photo flights over the lake, as well as travel time to get to the lake from the Phoenix area. For these dates only, we are offering photo flights for $395/hour. Because we’ll already be at the lake on these dates, you’ll also save nearly $2,000 in aircraft ferry costs. If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to photograph the lake without paying the cost of getting a helicopter there, now is the time.

Flights can be scheduled during the following time slots:
April 13: 2 PM to sunset
April 14: sunrise to 10 AM

There is a one-hour minimum per flight. All flights are billed based on the on-board Hobbs meter, which records time in 1/10th hour.

This is a limited-time offer subject to availability. It may be withdrawn at any time for any reason. Total maximum weight of passengers and equipment is limited to 400 lbs.

To book this flight, call Flying M Air at 928-231-0196. (We cannot accept reservations by e-mail.) If a machine answers, be sure to leave your name and best contact phone number and mention the Be Spontaneous! offer for this date.
