Louisville Sky Tour

Louisville from a thousand feet is a different city. The Ohio River bends away west, downtown stacks up beside it, and Churchill Downs sits under the twin spires you have only ever seen from the ground.

What you get

• A scenic helicopter flight in the Robinson R44 for two or three passengers
• An approximately 26-nautical-mile sightseeing route over the city and the river
• A professional pilot flying, pointing out what you are looking at
• One Cardinal Wings T-shirt with every booking
• Nothing to learn and nothing to do but enjoy it

Three passengers share the cost, so it comes to less each than the two-passenger price.

This is a tour rather than a lesson. If you would rather take the controls yourself, look at our helicopter discovery flights instead.

The route was planned to give you the full 26-nautical-mile sightseeing experience. The pilot sets the exact track and altitude on the day based on weather, air traffic and operational requirements, so no particular landmark or view is guaranteed. Passenger capacity is subject to individual and combined passenger weights, weight and balance, weather, fuel requirements and the pilot's approval.

Every flight leaves from the historic Bowman Field, a few minutes from downtown Louisville and one of the oldest continually operating airfields in the country.
