Blackbushe is a well-placed airport in Surrey in the M3/M4 corridor and not far from the Berkshire border. Back the fledging days of air passenger transportation it was a very busy place with scheduled flight services clocking up over 36 000 movements a year in 1955. Nowadays around Surrey it’s known as the private jet airport with smart business jets and executive helicopters lined up on the tarmac ready to transport their passengers at a moment’s notice.
One of those fancy helicopters out on the tarmac is your ride for the day. It’ll most probably be in a Robinson R44 helicopter which is a four seater chopper that’s popular at airports and helioports the world over. We are offering a duo of flight durations for these tours so you can go on a quick local buzz or head further afield for a longer sightseeing and flying experience.
The local ‘buzz’ tour gives you your first taste of helicopters with a little look around the area local to Blackbushe.
