Your Evening

Your evening begins at Scottsdale Airpark, where you'll meet your pilot and board your private helicopter. Departure is timed to the season's sunset, so the light is at its best from wheels-up.

Over the next 30 minutes, your pilot narrates the landscape below as the desert glows gold - historic landmarks, rivers and lakes, rugged cliffs, and the city lights beginning to sparkle across the valley. With panoramic views stretching over 100 miles, it's the Arizona sunset the way it was meant to be seen. Your route is tailored to your flight, so no two evenings are quite the same.

Back at the airpark, the evening is yours - or ours to arrange. On request, we can reserve your table at a special restaurant and set up a champagne toast to cap the night. Tell us what you're envisioning when you book, and we'll make it happen.
