The Activity we Experienced
What we chose to do
Overcoming my Helicopter Fear
How did you discover this activity?
I wanted to conquer a fear (I have PTSD) and this was the one I chose to conquer.
When did you book your tour compared to the departure date?
We booked the same day that we went.
Why did you choose this activity?
I have PTSD. I was turning 30. I made a vow all of 2019 to conquer a fear each month, and my birthday month was the month to conquer a helicopter ride.
How did you get to the activity location?
We rented a car to drive there the same day.
What was your experience with the activity’s staff?
The staff was patient and kind. They adjusted things accordingly to make me comfortable.
Highlights or memories you and your group will take from the trip?
The pilot is well trained and kept me calm to make sure I didn’t have a panic attack. I am very proud to have flown with him and overcome a fear.
I am glad i lasted the whole trip and experienced it with two amazing people who have seen me struggle and battle with my PTSD.
Would you recommend this activity to another group like yours? Why or why not?
I would recommend this to everyone especially anyone else with mental health or anxiety or depression or anything in between.
