NYC AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY HELICOPTER FLIGHTS
PRIVATE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY FLIGHTS – DEPARTING FROM WESTCHESTER
Capturing glare-free aerial images of iconic New York landmarks from a helicopter is a photographer’s dream.
Our NYC aerial photography flights depart from our Westchester Airport location, only a 12-15-minute helicopter flight to Midtown Manhattan and are 1 hour or longer.
Helicopter doors are removed for unobstructed views, unless otherwise requested. Due to a recent change in regulations, open-door flights are not permitted to take off or land at Manhattan heliports. Our Westchester location is quiet, crowd-free and easily accessible by car or the Metro-North train from Grand Central Terminal to White Plains station then a quick taxi ride. Total travel time approximately 45-60 minutes. Train schedules here.
Aerial photography instructor: beginners are accompanied by a seasoned instructor to learn lens settings, shooting angles and more while flying over iconic Manhattan landmarks for additional fee.
Car service: roundtrip car service available between Manhattan and Westchester for an additional fee.
General availability for aerial photography flights:
