The entitlement is rampant.
If they provide the fielding and you dig a skid during landing I am 100% certain you will litigate for damages.
Because I show up in a snazzy helicopter and give the punters something to chat about it should be free is ludicrous.
For 150 bp though I would expect a nicely manicured helipad with markings, fire extinguishers and a golf cart if needed.
My earlier point.
A R22 self fly hire rate is what 250-275/hr?
Thats 500-600 for the trip.
Nobody bats an eye at that amount.
Now this wasn’t a R22 was it?
Something bigger, maybe a turbine?
How much are those an hour?
You’re perfectly willing to pay that for what is essentially an ego trip to lunch yet you balk at the landing fee?
