A testimonial from a birthday flight...
Hi Larry,
I found your card today and realized that I had never written to thank you for that wonderful birthday helicopter ride. I am the Methodist minister whose daughter Holly surprised me with the flight. I had never been in a helicopter before and had always wanted to fly in one. What a dream come true. We talk and relive that experience often. I have told many people about your wonderful service and I hope your business continues to grow and thrive. I pray God's greatest blessings as you take people closer to him in your beautiful helicopter.
Blessings,
Karen and Holly Howell

Larry and Steph,
Just wanted to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our ride. The views were spectacular-especially the hundreds and hundreds of rays! Everyone should see the Outer Banks from the air.
Thank you for a great experience!
