I think the pleasure rides have been operating from the aerodrome opposite Butlins, since ELDC wouldn't grand a licence for them to operate from central Skegness. Possibly they might begin again at Easter 2009. Having been on one of the helicopters, I don't recall them being fitted out to accommodate wheelchairs, and they are quite high to climb into. Your best bet is to contact Ellen via the Sky Charter website, I'm sure she will answer your questions. Cheers Angela Hi, Keith.

IF so where do we book and when will it start! Will you continue these Helicopter rides in 2009, if so would they be acceptable for passengers out of a wheelchair?

The staff were very professional and explained about the flight and the saftey points., The pilot was fantastic, pointing out things to the kids and telling you about the height and speed you were at. As for Mikes comments about it being to near to the main beach where does he want it? The location is perfect everyone can see it and the staff made sure the perimeter was safe before the pilot started the engine. Many onlookers gathered to watch the helicopter take off and land so more people were on the beach in the poor weather than expected so the ice cream traders also benefitted with the helicopter being there.
