Some things are worth the wait…

Sometimes you guys say it better than we can!! 💕
Thank you and CONGRATULATIONS Finn & Caitlyn 💍
“Hi guys,
We both just want to say a massive Thankyou to you both. The day couldn’t have gone any better! Richard, you were an amazing pilot with great knowledge of the local area and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Jolanda, Thankyou so much for being so easy to work with, from having Covid-19 restrictions to work around, through having to juggle 2 businesses at once and then the weather not wanting to play ball. I couldn’t thank you enough on how flexible and professional you were from start to finish. The whole experience is one Caitlyn and myself will never forget! The pictures you guys captured were truly amazing and captured the moment perfectly. Will definitely be returning customers and hope to see you sometime in the near future.
Attached is some of our favourite pictures you
captured from our special day!
Warms regards
Finn & Caitlyn”

Soaring into LEVEL 2 reminiscing about this gem of a couple 💎
If lockdown means you’ve had to put off your special moment… you’ll be pleased to hear WE’RE BACK at Level 2 - just in time for Spring 🌼
This shot was taken on a proposal flight for a gorgeous Australian couple who timed it just about perfectly - a couple of weeks before lockdown.
We’ve got a few changes for Delta Level 2 as a lot of local businesses do so have your face masks at the ready! Once we get up to the sunny and secluded Central Otago Hills these can of course be safely removed.
We look forward to seeing you all out soon 👋🏼

Perfectly private 💍 with mountain views, an excuse to crack and we can even arrange secret photographers 🤫
We’re not sure if it’s everyone putting off proposals in 2020… but golly gosh there should be some good weddings in store this summer if our gorgeous flyers are anything to go by ✨

Our Alpine Landings with hot chocolate and scenic flight up and back are a seriously fun way to spend an hour if you’re flying through Central Otago, or even if you’re a local looking for something fun that’s a little outside the norm!
Seeing our stunning vineyard lined lakes and snow capped mountains from above never gets old👌🏼

Pilot Richard’s Monday Concentration Face ☺️
They say if you love what you do you don’t work a day in your life...
What we do is hard work, there is no doubt about it... but the views, the smiles and seeing the feelings of awe we can create (just by turning up at our day job) certainly makes it worthwhile 🚁
