Anyone know / recommend SFH in or close to Tel-Aviv for a couple of hours? I will be there early December and it seems opportune to combine pleasure with business.

EC120 preferably or R44. I would want a local pilot with me so hopefully this could be possible

Thanks

John: Not even sure if there is a 120 in Israel.

Try these (http://chimnir.com/) guys for starters and let us know how it goes.

Nice people at chim nir I bought 2 gazelles from them not sure if anyone would let you fly around on your own with the security there

We had enough grief from authority's just being there

MD600 - happy for the local guy to be there and be 'captain'. I would like to waggle the sticks, though with Mrs J in the back.

Savoia - thanks. I will drop them a line

Update:

Thanks to all for suggestions.

Non of the tour operators will allow stick-waggling but someone put me on to Matos (http://www.matos.co.il/) who are better placed to help. After sight of a scan of my EASA license and type ratings we have a deal!

R44 so Mrs 81 comes too. Aiming to go from Hertzelia over Nazareth to the Sea of Galilee, then after lunch follow the Jordan river to the Dead Sea for a little flying below 0ft AMSL, then return to Hertzelia.

Photos to follow
