Let's make your pilot career go vertical!

Words cannot begin to describe the deep appreciation I have toward Quantum Helicopters for the kindness, generosity and compassion extended to my family and friends. Four years ago, on July 31, 2022, my 19-year-old son Tucker Colby was killed on his motorcycle by a drunk driver that ran a red light. Tucker was a student at Quantum Helicopters. Five days prior to the accident Tucker had completed his first solo flight. His spirits were truly at the top of the world! Tucker’s dream was to become a Flight Instructor at QH and eventually become an EMT helicopter pilot. The day after Tucker’s death, his student pilots license arrived in the mail. In May of this year, 2026, I had reached out to Terry Blakemore at QH, sharing Tucker‘s story and asking Terry what the possibility would be to arrange a “birthday surprise” for my daughter Taylor, Tucker‘s best friend, to take flight in the actual helicopter Tucker completed his solo flight in. Without hesitation, Terry offered to take not only Taylor up for a charity flight, but me as well. On August 21, 2026, as planned, a group of 15 of Tucker’s family and closest friends had arrived at QH just minutes before Taylor and I arrived for our flights. We were greeted by Rhona’s warm, welcoming smile and lead down the hallway of the school toward the break room where Taylor was surprised by everyone. After all of the hugs, Rhona lead the group out onto the tarmac. Unbeknownst to Taylor there was still one more surprise… her youngest brother Leo, from California, was waiting for her at the helicopter. Taylor boarded the helicopter and before takeoff, Terry floated the helicopter by the group so we could see her, wave and cheer as they took flight. Terry was an amazing pilot and tour guide! He had allowed Taylor to fly the helicopter and took her to a special landing spot that he felt Tucker was very fond of…Eagles Nest. Rhona helped one of the friends download the app to track Taylor’s flight. When Taylor returned, it was my turn. Being in the helicopter Tucker completed his solo flight in was so surreal. As we soared above the city, I envisioned that Tucker was my pilot, showing me the sites and allowing me to briefly “take the wheel”. I could feel the pride and excitement that Tucker must’ve experienced every time he flew. I had brought Tucker’s Flight Log and Terry logged both Taylor’s and my flight, making full circle for Tucker’s journey. Terry had gifted both Taylor and I a personalized, autographed section of a helicopter blade in remembrance of this amazing day! As I said in the beginning, words cannot begin to express how grateful I am and how deeply impactful and memorable this day was for everyone! Truly, A Flight To Remember!!!♥️ - Diana, Taylor & Tucker’s Mom

Had an Intro flight today with Sean! It was awesome and I’ll be back soon!

Great instruction and very patient. Dillon was a great instructor.

I had an amazing experience completing my first introduction flight with Quantum Helicopters Rhona and Eric made me feel at home!

I did a discover flight with my friend and we both had the best time ever. It was so interesting to learn about helicopter and get to fly! The instructors made it a very controlled and safe environment for learning. Even if you don’t think you’ll go to school for flying it’s a really cool experience plus you can say you got to fly a helicopter.

The intro flight was incredible. One of the best things I’ve ever signed up for. The staff were all very friendly and made me feel very safe. I wish more people got to experience flying a helicopter.

I recently had the opportunity to take an introductory flight with Quantum Hellicopters and it was truly an amazing experience. The instructor Sean was knowledgeable, patient, and made me feel at ease even when I was nervous. The helicopter was well-maintained and the pre-flight briefing was thorough. I loved the hands-on experience of taking the controls and getting a feel for how the helicopter operates. If you’re thinking about trying helicopter piloting, I’d highly recommend giving Quantum Hellicopters a shot. They offer a great introduction to the experience and their staff is super friendly. Can’t wait to see if I can fit more flights into my schedule!
