Finding the entrance to the airport was easy, getting into the plane and seat belted was easy, and navigating the headset was easy! There was no moment during our tour where we felt confused or nervous about what was happening or going on. The views were AMAZING! Specially since we did the sunset tour! Our pilot was so knowledgeable on the counties history, and we actually learned a lot! The takeoff, flight, and landing were incredibly smooth. I highly recommend this establishment. You won't regret it!!

Rogue Aviation Flight School has effectively demonstrated to lead in precision, safety,…read moreprofessionalism and elite training. A few months ago, my husband was offered a career advancement opportunity which prompted him to consider and accept the hefty financial investment of becoming a helicopter pilot. Full transparency, he had initially began his flight training with a nearby competitor of Rogue which was an absolutely unpleasant and horrible experience. At the time, we did not know about Rogue's Long Beach location, so we were THRILLED when we learned about their secondary location to their Newport Beach location. From the moment we hopped on the call with Carrie, their angelic manager and coordinator, we knew we made the best decision to make the switch to Rogue Aviation early on. Rogue's values, standards, and commitment to excellence has been monumental to my husband's success. Every single member of the team, from Chief Pilot James Baker to CFI pilot James Cockrell; each have proven to be passionate, invested, and committed to their students success. The helicopter space is a relatively small community, and after intensive research on our part, it has revealed some intense truths--such as: ineffectively ran helicopter schools are notorious for offering poor quality instruction causing delays, financial strain, and even closing down mid licensing. Enrolling at Rogue has eliminated these concerns for us. I consider them the Ivy League of the helicopter training space. If you or a loved one is considering aviation as a career path, look no further. Rogue Aviation is bound to exceed your expectations.

I've recently began my flight training in rotary wing aircraft (helicopter) and began with a…read moreone-hour discovery flight in an R22 with CFI Tom Schneider out of Long Beach Airport. Being allowed to take controls for various stages of flight (straight and level, attempting turns, etc.) and even trying my hand at hovering, was a VERY humbling experience, to say the least. It really puts things in perspective, to not only respect the aircraft, but also how skilled helicopter pilots truly are at multi-tasking, understanding complex aerodynamics and applying them to various stages of flight. I was very confident in CFI Tom Schneider's flying ability; and felt safe at all given segments of his flight/coaching. He had the patience of a saint, especially when coaching me on hovering! Additionally, CFI Tom (Schneider) is from Germany, accruing many of his flight hours (in both fixed wing and helicopter) in Europe, which brings an added benefit of his unique training/experience(s) from across the world to the aviation community here in the United States. Truly awesome

You call them or go on line to book a tour and they will take you anywhere in California. In addition to their VIP Service, they can also assist in the acquisition of aircraft you see want. I am not rich so know little about it, so I just went for the best helicopter ride. If you hold an interest in purchasing, selling, leasing, fractional ownership, lease-back, or aircraft management, Celebrity Helicopters is who you call. Again, I know nothing about this. They have so many tours to choose for, we loved the Surf and Turf tour. It was beautiful and they have a bunch more. They also have tours of private celebrity homes and I find that just rude, so next we will do the LA Tour. I need to save for that. I think my tour was about $240 a person and it was well worth it. I am not sure but they also may be minority owned, which is important to me.

The flight itself was exciting and the crew was friendly, but I have to be honest about what we…read moreactually got vs. what was advertised. The DTLA Tour description clearly lists Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, and Dodger Stadium as part of the route. These were the main reasons I booked this tour. We flew on June 10, 2026, and none of these landmarks were included. When I asked the pilot mid-flight why we were turning back, he said he thought we wanted to turn around at Downtown. We never said anything like that -- we were just following the tour as advertised. If you're booking this tour for specific landmarks -- ask the pilot explicitly before takeoff.

He answered our questions and was very confident and calm. Our brother learned a lot while we were the passenger princesses in the back. It's very tight and my 6'4" brother barely fit. It definitely feels like a rollercoaster at times with how delicate the controls are. Even just going slightly down or up had those stomach drop feelings. I definitely recommend taking anti-motion sickness medicine if you're sensitive. The views are definitely amazing on a clear day and the helicopter was mostly glass. 30 minutes was a good amount of time and went by slowly. Definitely recommend to try once as it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

His flying was incredibly smooth, but what stood out even more was his situational awareness. He was attentive, calm, respectful, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the entire flight. Nothing ever felt abrupt or rushed, and that made all the difference. He also went out of his way to swing wide and give us a beautiful look at the coastline before heading over to the Hollywood sign, and he explained everything along the way with just the right amount of detail. Ivan deserves a mention as well for making the setup effortless from the beginning, and even the mechanic jumped in to grab some great photos for us before departure. From booking to landing, the entire experience felt polished, personal, and memorable. Mark, especially, was outstanding. Smooth pilot, sharp instincts, great demeanor, and exactly the kind of person you want at the controls. Highly recommended.
