Riding in a helicopter is a rare event that even most adults will never experience in their lifetime.

The founder of this website, Rick Rahim, is passionate about flying helicopters. He is also a devoted husband and father of four young children.

Rick is a lifelong resident of Northern Virginia and a successful businessman. Rick holds licenses to fly both helicopters and airplanes. Collectively, he has logged almost 1,000 hours of flight time.

Rick is also a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (Chapter 186) and a passionate supporter of their Young Eagles Program. Through the Young Eagles program, Rick volunteers his time and his helicopter to fly youth ages 7 - 17.

Any child (or group of children) may enjoy a ride in Rick's helicopter at no cost to the child or his/her family. Rick generously provides the aircraft and fuel out of his own pocket. The smiles and excitement of the children he flies are Rick's sole reward.

In an effort to give back to his community and provide an incredible experience for children, Rick Rahim invites all youngsters ages 7 - 17 to join him in the sky.

All participants must have written permission from their legal guardian. The minimum group size is 10 children. Rides usually depart from Leesburg Airport.

At the end of the ride, participants will receive a certificate commemorating their flight. Photo opportunities with the pilot and aircraft will also be available the day of flight.

We can accommodate large groups of several hundred and we can also send a pilot to your school or other meeting to talk about the wonders of flight.

We volunteer our time and resources to the children. There is no cost for these services. The children's smiles are payment enough for us.

If you have a group of 10 or more children ages 7-17 who would like to experience flight in a helicopter, please do not hesitate to call us!
