This engagement experience begins with a private helicopter flight from Manhattan to a semi private lakeside airport in Upstate New York, with a scenic 15-minute air tour of NYC on the way. Couples are offered complimentary champagne toast during their flight (minimum drinking age is 21) and a bouquet of roses and small box of chocolates for this special occasion.
Upon arrival at the airstrip you may pop the question next to the helicopter, on the lake shore or in the shade of large, old trees. The grass runway end area can be closed off with advance notice to safely accommodate friends and family members.
This package includes a professional engagement photographer who will fly with you (under a cover story) to document your entire proposal including the helicopter flight. The helicopter will wait one hour on the ground then fly you back to Manhattan.
