They say "make hay while the sun shines". This summer it's been take flights while the sun shines - it's been a bit slim pickings this summer.... we're sure everyone in the Southern Lakes will agree when we say we're looking forward to Autumn being a stunner this year!!

It is with such great sadness that we share our condolences with the family and close friends of Thomas Vialletet who lost his life to Aoraki-Mt Cook ⛰️ this week. The team here at Aspiring Helicopters all agree he was one of the ‘good ones’. A young man we all enjoyed working with. From his easy manner to his professionalism. He was just an all round good bloke. We have no doubt he will be sorely missed within the guiding fraternity.
Farewell Thomas 😪 , it was a pleasure knowing you.

Taking a moment to acknowledge Armisece Day or “Poppy Day. Let’s all take the time to reflect and remember the sacrifices of all those who have died in a war or conflict.
Then send our thoughts to those still living in countries in major conflict.

Planning to climb 🧗 Mt Aspiring ⛰️ this summer? We can help fast track your trip. You can fly 🚁 from our hangar (or from Raspberry Flat carpark) into Bevan Col. Then it’s just a few hours hike across the Bonar Glacier to Colin Todd Hut, your base for the climb. This hut has 12 bunk beds and runs on a first-come first-serve basis. No booking system but hut ‘tickets’ can be purchased online from the Department of Conservation. Guided trips are offered by numerous companies.

Wait, did you get my best side?! Well we've had a crazy spring this year with weather wreaking havoc on so many photo shoots. She's not playing nice at all and it's frustrating for everyone. Fortunately we were able to find somewhere special for Silvia and Jason in the midst of all these spring storms. Photo by: Aliena Seitz Photography
