something in the air

Does anyone know if there'll be any small aircraft or helicopter flights available for sightseeing this August?
I've looked through the messages posted here and over the last couple of years there's been mention of helicopters, "Briko" flights from Trinidad and a cessna trip to Union Island.
Anyone can point me in the right direction to find out more?

Hi Gary
Tobago Helicopters are still organising licencing and organising things. They had hoped to launch in August but I don't know the latest and will certainly post it here when I hear anything.
Yes Tourism offer day excursions to the Grenadines which are supposed to be a really lovely day out, but not cheap, obviously.
Other than that, I'm afraid there are no other options.

Might the Yes Tourism trip be the Union Island one mentioned elsewhere in the forum?

Sorry, Gary, but with over 12 thousand messages on the forum, I don't actually remember. The easiest way is to check out the Yes Tourism site -

I did the tour and I guess it is a lot cheaper now as I understand that Yes Tours have a regular plane to take you there.
Steve ... shame on you ... you met me and the family in the evening after my day trip and you can't remember !!!
So much for making a good impression
Regards

My only recollection of that evening, Paul, was your son's busting a gut over Gabriel de Gaetano's enthusiastic description of which bank of which river the goats were grazing before they were milked prior to the making of the cheese he was describing.
Anyway, I perfectly remember that you went on the Union Island trip and that it had been mentioned on the forum, but had no knowledge of whether that was what Gary was referring to.

Nice timing and thanks for the warning. I'm packing up for the day and off to get a curry.
