APPRECIATING PHILIPPINES: MY AERIAL COLLECTION PART 1

I love flying around my country via helicopters because of the so many things beautiful things I see at a bird's-eye view.  Photography is one of my hobbies that I get to enjoy as I go along with the captain, the executives of Airgurus, friends and clients anywhere in the Philippines.

I started taking aerial shots of beautiful places all over the country last January as we, at Airgurus, covered the IronMan Challenge 2011. There is just one too many. Everything actually is beautiful from above and last weekend, I once again had a chance to enjoy aerial photography. 

Thanks to my childhood best friend, Capt. Harry Lero of Airgurus Ltd. Co. for making me appreciate and love my country more each time!

WHAT CAN YOU CHARTER A HELICOPTER FOR?

Airgurus Ltd. Co. is the leading helicopter charter and aircraft company in the Philippines with a 24/7 operations center at Delta Hangar, Domestic Airport Road, Pasay City.

The following are popular uses for helicopters especially for first time flyers as per Airgurus:

• Helicopter sightseeing.... perhaps over a local landmark during sunset.
• Helicopter flying lesson, often called trial lessons or air experience flights, when the customer gets a chance to try flying for themselves
• A helicopter flight to a wedding, perhaps one’s own!
• A helicopter trip to Boracay, Baguio, Palawan and many other tourist destinations!
• A helicopter experience, or short hop to just experience the magic of a rotary flight!

There are many other important reasons for chartering a helicopter... i.e., medical evacuation, air ambulance and search and rescue operations! Almost anything can be arranged if the prospective customer simply lets their requirements be known.

Points to Consider When Choosing A Helicopter Operator

• Helicopter flying is not cheap, but it may not be as expensive as some people think. 
• It is worth the customer considering what it is that they actually want. 
• If all that is wanted is to see what it feels like, it is best to look for a company which arranges the most number of helicopter experiences. 
• These may be very short flights of five or ten minutes, with a number of people aboard; so they can be done reasonably and economically. 
• If the customer has a special requirement and needs the helicopter for himself, family or friends, this can be arranged but he will pay accordingly.
• It is always worth shopping around and letting the helicopter charter company know exactly what is required.
• The customer will pay before the helicopter leaves its base.

A helicopter trip is very special. If it is planned carefully, it could provide a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Airgurus Ltd. Co. can fly you anytime you want, wherever you want, with as little as two (2) hours notice or even less provided an aircraft is readily available.
