you ever thought of getting a bird's eye view of our toddling town?
If you are a bit of a daredevil a helicopter tour is the only way
to fly our friendly skies and check it out.

Sun Aero Helicopters in Lansing is the largest Chicagoland-based
helicopter service.
"We have a beautiful city here. We've got a magnificent skyline
that people die to see. We want to give them the opportunity to
see how beautiful the city actually is," said Bob Cole, Sun Aero
Helicopters V.P.
A one-hour tour for four to six people can cost you anywhere from
$450 to $600.
"We can take them to particular building if they want to photograph
a particular building they own or they live in. We can pretty much
do anything that anybody would request," said Cole. "You're not
going to have a worry in the world. It's going to be a very, very
unique experience."
Sun Aero Helicopters offers Chicagoans unlimited access to leisure
and business destinations. Their service allows you to bypass the
congestion on the ground.
"Okay, this is a Bell 206, built in Texas and they've been building
it for about 30 years now. It's a real reliable machine. About 450
horsepower and it's going to travel today at about 130 miles per
hour," said Fred Hostetler, pilot.
The company has a fleet of helicopters to choose from.
"Well, real smooth ride for the most part, not too shaky they're
a real smooth aircraft, you know, you will have some movements there
is a little turbulence sometimes. We're a little better off than
an airplane because there's a lot less surface area for the up and
down movement then it would be in a place with a traditional wing,"
said Hostetler.
