Every major event during the summer seems to have a helicopter operating, giving 5 minute trips to the punters in exchange for moolah.
How do you identify those events which warrant the effort of setting up a helicopter ride thing ? Then what are the considerations for the actual site ?
Off the top of my head, for the main event itself:
1. Reasonably large attendance - what's the lower expected limit here ?
2. Other and varied attractions - gets a different mix of people ?
For the site(and yes I know the CAA have produced a document on HLS dimensions):
1. Where's the HLS going to be, and how big is it ?
2. How many people do you need to work it properly ?
3. Anything else ?
I'm more after stuff out of the ordinary, rather than the routine info. And if anyone knows of any suitable events which don't have a helicopter ride this year, let me know !
