Renting a helicopter?

[-Exodus-]

hey there, i was wanting to know does anyone have experience in renting helicopters? this year for my final year school formal me and a few friends....probably up to 6 at most are wanting to rent a helicopter to make an enterance

i'm having problems finding a company, as i live in northern ireland, i was talking to one company but they will not fly after sunset which is estimated at 5.20 on the day of the formal which is no good as it starts at about 7.30, is this a standard rule for companies or purely because that company doesn't have the license to fly at night or what?

any suggestions would be great. what sort of prices would we be looking to pay? £100 or so a piece?

one of my friends involved in this, his old neighbour has his on private chopper so fingers crossed we might be able to get him to do it, if not renting is the only option.

Where abouts do you live in NI? Newtownards has a small airfield and i know they allow people to rent helicopters (with a trained pilot obviously)

yes they are the company i have spoke with, unfortuantly they will not fly after sunset.

This. Dressed in a tux. Then walk up to the bar and order a martini.

All women around you will melt into a puddle.

yes we will go down as legends in school history

hmmm when the helicopter drops you guys off is anyone even going to be around to see it? because im sure it wont land where your formal thing is...

well we are talking with the hotel it's at, we are waiting for them to get back to us, talking about cornering off a section of the carpark

i know this is a stupid idea, just really curious if it is possible

What a pube

good input lad
