Real Estate Photography and Scouting Film / Documentary Projects Photography Equipment

My wife and I recently flew with Nelson Helicopters, and wanted to let you know we very much enjoyed the service, hospitality and spectacular flying you offer. It was certainly the highlight of our visit to New Zealand (there will be more)! We've already recommended you to a few people, and will continue to do so as we adjust to this time zone. Breathtaking views of the fantastic New Zealand scenery, friendly and personable staff, skilled pilots, great helicopters and killer scones - you guys have it all!
