Open Cockpit Days

It's great to look but even better to climb in and experience from the inside.

Open Cockpit days are fun for all the family and allow visitors to have the opportunity to access the cockpits of selected helicopters.

 Climb in, put the helmet on and have the controls explained by an experienced guide.
