The next afternoon, we decide to chance it and take the 40 min ride out there. We meet a woman walking out of the office who says she's been out all day, couldn't reply to calls, and the the thermostat gauge on the plane wasn't working. So, no flights and no apologies. A simple text or timely return call or an apology or maybe 10% off a future purchase would have smoothed things over. Honestly, not returning nor recommending.

It's a great way to experience a helicopter ride for a great price. Anna and Kevin (pilot) were so kind and helpful. I've also been there before in better weather for a full NYC ride which was just as wonderful. The hanger is located in Westchester and very easy to get to from Scarsdale and not too far from NYC. If you've ever wanted to try a helicopter ride - now is your chance! Please support your local businesses!

Apologies as this has been sitting as a draft review from June 2022. My dad bought us once in a lifetime seats for the Warriors v Celtics finals as a bucket list trip, but we were stuck at JFK all day due to security ground stops in Boston. We flew in the night before, but after 8 hours of flight delays and 2+ hours back and forth on the tarmac, we needed to find a way to Boston in spite of all rental cars and train seats being sold out. We were desperate! I called around and no charter could get us to Boston. We are by no means ballers, but I fly small planes as a hobby, so I called a dozen FBOs and Wings Air was the only answer to our prayers. They managed to get us to a nearby regional airport with only one hour notice, and arranged a car to bring us to TD Arena in time to watch most of the game where we wound up winning. Thank you so much for coming through when no one else could. This is a memory we will cherish forever.

Availability seems pretty weather-dependent, so phone ahead and have a backup plan for your day,…read morebut our experience was super fun. You ride in small Cessna propeller plane, which can comfortably seat two, and can squeeze a third if you must (two adults and a kid seems reasonable, and there's a coupon on the website to get your third passenger free, so this might be good for families). We did the Delaware Water Gap tour, which is around a half hour. We went in fall, and the scenery was gorgeous, with rivers and mountains covered in colorful autumn trees. You star fairly low so you can still see a lot of what's going on below. The wind tends to be a bit choppy up in the mountains, so this might not be great for those faint of heart or weak of stomach, but it also adds to the thrill. Toward the end of the flight our pilot let my girlfriend take control and fly the plane. This was a big thrill for her, and he actually let her do quite a bit in terms of guiding the plane and bring it in for a landing (but of course he took control back for the landing itself). If anyone is interested in a little mini-flight lesson, make sure they take the front seat. Overally great experience. Might seem a little pricey for a relatively short activity ($50 for 30 minutes, although I think it was a little longer), but it was totally worth it.

This is a great trip and experience, and I you highly recommend

The NYC tour took us over northern NJ which was great for giving us a few minutes to work thru our fears before getting to Ellis Island. Super cool to see the NYC skyline as we approached it from the other side of the river. Great pics! Leaving from NJ elongated the experience to 40 min vs the 15 min the companies in NY offer. Felt like a bargain!! (Especially since some mention in the fine print that your 15 min begins when the engine is turned on) Just like the other reviews, the service was impeccable from the initial correspondence. As nervous as we were, we felt extremely comfortable with our awesome pilot Josh. He was friendly and not intimidating at all. He put our nerves at ease with his relaxed nature. This was super important to me as we were celebrating a special birthday and I wanted it to feel that way. Many of the NY companies have negative reviews about poor attitudes. Who needs that? Our helicopter had 2 seats in the front and 2 in the back. Some other companies charged more for "private tours". This was but without the up-charge. I am so happy that I chose the right company for our adventure. It was almost as serene as it was exciting. So worthwhile. Grateful for the experience!! Thanks Garden State!!

Immediately after I reached out to Maura, she got back to me and set up a meeting with the school's director and owner, Chris. We went over how the school works and the general process and then Chris set me up with my instructor, Rick Inzerillo, who did a fantastic job teaching me to fly. He's a former airline pilot who's enthusiastic and knowledgeable not only about aviation, but teaching aviation as well. I could not be happier with my experience with him and I highly recommend asking for him as your instructor. Rick, if you read this, thank you! The atmosphere was friendly and other instructors went out of their way to answer any questions I had if Rick wasn't there (Special thanks to Brad, Zach and Chris). The planes were all well maintained and if anything went wrong, quick to be fixed and put back on the flight line. Finally, after I'd gotten my certificate, I was able to rent the planes for my own use. If I had to make the choice again, I would do it with Hewison in a heartbeat!

Upon arrival my fiancée and I were greeted by our pilot, Mark, as well as the owner and his wife. Very friendly and made us feel welcome! We didn't waste much time, and I had the privilege of watching pilot Mark do his pre-flight. He was very thorough and I could tell the bird was immaculately maintained. Shortly thereafter we were strapped in and on our way! Having only been my 2nd helicopter flight, I was geeking out the whole time, and Mark was on top of his game. Soon we were circling around the statue of liberty and on our way up the Hudson. Great views of the Freedom Tower and we went north, uptown and over the GWB before starting our return to Pittstown. Landing was flawless, came in with plenty of ground speed before smoothly exiting the active and calling it in. Pro. Pictures and words don't do it justice, this was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! Highly recommend stopping in for a quick flight (or lessons, or a license)!
