Raven II.
Exceptional spec.
Our privately owned Robinson R44 Raven II combines the familiar performance and versatility of the R44 with a premium touring specification.

Modern cockpit.
Confident touring.
A Garmin glass cockpit and HeliSAS autopilot give experienced R44 pilots a modern, capable platform for longer journeys.
Go somewhere
Helicopter hire doesn't have to end where it started.
Take the helicopter away for the day or overnight. Visit friends, plan a weekend away or fly into that special hotel you've always wanted to visit.
Overnight hire opportunities are available subject to flight-hour minimums, availability and operational requirements.
