There are very few feelings better than that initial take-off in a helicopter. The turbine engines scream, and the propeller pushes the air around you as you start to lift off the ground. Helicopters offer a trip like no other, allowing you to marvel at the unique views around you as you fly through the sky. Here are the four best places you can visit in the USA via helicopter.
