Could you go for a thirty-minute helicopter ride? Downtown Phoenix’s stunning skyline helicopter flight is one you won’t forget. Board the helicopter at the Falcon Field Airport, just outside of the city, put on those headphones, grab your camera, and your off.

Take sunglasses and don’t forget your camera. You’ll want a hundred photos of those views.
