One of the most unique ways of seeing New York City is by air. If you are a photo enthusiast there is no better way of seeing New York than a doors off helicopter flight.

FlyNYON offers flights around New York’s most unique icons. On a recent 30 minute flight we flew passed the Empire State Building, the Freedom Tower, Times Square, Central Park, and the Statue of Liberty. Having flown with FlyNYON before I can say first hand that each flight is in fact unique.
If you have never flown in a helicopter before you will really enjoy the doors off experience. Each person in the helicopter is secured with a three point seat belt and a quick release harness. Making you feel secure enough to literally hang your feet out the door.
Photographing cityscapes from a moving helicopter is certainly a challenge but most of FlyNYON’s pilots are photographers themselves and are quick to offer advice for shutter speed and other camera settings to help you get great photos.
