Private Helicopter Flight Lesson from Westchester
Overview
Experience the thrill of flying around the Hudson Valley with this helicopter flight lesson from Westchester Airport in White Plains, NY. Start with ground instruction to learn about basic flying technique and safety and then take to the air during an approximately 30- or 60-minute private lesson.
