I organized a tour for my sister's 30th birthday and they couldn't have spoken more highly of the experience! Her and her fiancé were a little nervous going in, but came back raving about how great it was. Booking was simple and straightforward, and the pricing is more than fair! Definitely recommend! read more

Do not waste your time, the owner is a know it all jerk and has no social skills or ability to plan. He left us high and dry on a 16th birthday and could care less. read more

My fiancé proposed to me during this date night. It was so romantic, unique, and intimate. The pilot was very experienced and treated us so well. We flew from waxhaw to uptown round trip. I highly recommend this business read more

We had a fantastic experience today. This has been on my bucket list for years and today it was complete. Our pilot Reine was so pleasant, kind and accommodating. He went over safely, climate, weather and was very informative. He even took pictures and selfies with us. We laughed and joked the entire time which made us feel comfortable. I could've asked for a better day to take a ride Uptown Charlotte for my birthday. The skylines Amazing and the views were Breathtaking. I highly recommend this pilot. read more

Wonderful trip - amazing views- and very safe! Owner & pilot is so nice. He has so much experience

My husband decided that this would be a great birthday gift for me... and it sure was!! I didn't realize that I could write a review for this great adventure. Reini does this more so for fun then to make money. I respect that. I was skeptical because upon arrival we thought we were lost. The address took us to a home! There was a golf cart sitting up front. We were embarrassed coming to the door but we went anyways. He was super friendly and prompt! His helicopter was ready to go and so was he. We took a ride in the direction of uptown. We got to circle the area. He made great conversation with us. He cracked a few jokes lol. I felt totally comfortable in his helicopter. My husband and I had a blast. We got to take video and pictures. It was pretty neat to see him engaging with air traffic control. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone who wants something fun to do. He is very professional and great at what he does. When I find the pictures I took, I'll be glad to share them! read more

My teenage daughters and I have flown with Reini three times in the last four years, and EVERY flight has been AWESOME!!! Reini takes every precaution needed to make your flight safe and enjoyable. He made such an impression on my youngest daughter on her second flight two years ago that she started taking flying lessons. She starts college this fall with the intent of making aviation/aeronautical her profession. We just took our third flight yesterday, August 10, 2021. Trust me, your flight with Reini will be AWESOME!!! read more

Incredible Experience!!! This guy was great! This was my first time flying in a helicopter so of course I was a little nervous. He was kind and asked if I was ok. He said it was like riding on a magic carpet. He answered all of my questions and was helpful at pointing out different landmarks. What a GREAT time!! I would highly recommend him for anyone. His helicopter takes video and holds a total of four people. Three if you've already counted the pilot. read more

Charlotte Helicopters is a hidden gem. The owner/pilot is not looking to make money, but rather share his love of flying and his city. We were a little apprehensive about arriving to a private residence far from the city. Soon we were greeted by the owner, welcomed and he opened his giant garage to remove a stored helicopter. It was moved to a nearby airstrip where we took off. Flight was typical, safe, and very good views of the city and surrounding areas. On par with other tour rides. What set him apart was his attention to our comfort. With high heat and humidity, he quickly had us rest in his beautiful residence while he spent the time to store the helicopter. Meeting his wife and dogs were a personal touch, and he was quick to give bottled water and ensure we were cared for. When they realized we took a long Lyft ride, he insisted on dropping us off at a very nice restaurant to the North in their personal Tesla vehicle. It was extremely helpful and highly appreciated. Cost was typical and fair, but he never tried to upsell or make it anything about money. You felt like you were visiting a wealthy relative with a chopper in the garage. Don't be put off by the residential location. It's aviation with Southern Hospitality. read more

Such a fun experience! We reserved this for my wife's bday. Great time. They mentioned they could pick up downtown, definitely would do that in the future. Hard to get to during rush hour. Also, make sure you consider flying at sunset. Would have been even better. read more

My mom and I got my dad a tour of Charlotte for his bday. My dad loved this tour! It was a 20min helicopter tour of Charlotte with a brief safety instruction prior. You meet the pilot, Reini, at his house and he charters the passengers to the runway. The neighborhood is called aero plantation and is a beautiful neighborhood and the runway is around the corner from his house. The helicopter is very well taken care of and beautiful. Reini, is very nice and gave a great tour. Highly recommend him!!! read more

This was one of the most amazing experiences. My sister was visiting and I thought, what a great way to show her Charlotte. This has been on my bucket list, as I am afraid of heights and wanted to face my fear. My sister is as well. Reini is so professional, safe and made sure our experience was memorable. We weren't afraid at all. It was a quiet and smooth ride and the view was phenomenal. Thank you! read more

We took an uptown tour today and the entire experience was incredible. We were greeted at our pilot's home and it was comfortable right off the bat. We were carted to the helicopter and he offered to take photos before our ride, which was so thoughtful. We did the tour and it was so amazing! The views were stunning! I would recommend this tour to anyone and hope to do another in the future. read more

Contracted Reini to give myself, my fiancee and her friend an air taxi from his house in Charlotte (right next to the private Aeroplantation Airport) to Charlotte-Douglas International airport. It was expensive, but competitively priced against other options. The ride went very smoothly and we were able to get right into uptown Charlotte and see all of the buildings and landmarks on a bright & beautiful afternoon in March. It was a little windy but this ended up not being an issue. I would highly recommend Reini's service and you should consider it too for your helicopter needs!! read more

I scheduled a flight with Charlotte Helicopters on the occasion of my daughter's fifth birthday. Reini responded immediately and worked with me (on short notice, no less) to arrange the flight exactly as I wanted it. Needless to say, the flight was excellent, and my daughter was thrilled. Most importantly though, is that after searching around the Western NC/SC area for a company to charter a helicopter flight with, I choose to fly with Reini because he's a professional. And I know....I've been a military helicopter pilot myself for 15 years. His aviation qualifications are above reproach (in addition to flying helicopters he has flown for a major airline for 30+ years) and his aircraft is maintained to immaculate standards. Additionally, from his pre-flight safety briefing, though his communication with air traffic control, and demonstrated skill at flying the aircraft, it's evident this guy is a pro. Don't accept anything less. read more

Got this tour for my fiancé's birthday. It was awesome. Reini is very kind and very experienced. It was our first time doing it and we'd definitely do it again. read more

Owners owe me $28,000 and sent me emails saying they would put me on a reimbursement payment plan but never sent one payment and ignore all of my calls and emails and US mail correspondence trying to get $28,000 the owners signed a contract saying they would pay me. I would not trust my life in the air with pilots who do not tell the truth about paying their bills because if a person is dishonest in one area they are usually dishonest in other areas like aircraft maintenance and safety. I would not trust paying the company or owners money for flight instruction, rides or video services they advertise .nor would I trust my life in the air to the company or owners. read more
