What does it cost you to get dropped in there?

And picked up by the same guy presumably?

Bit of highway robbery re costs. One firm Helisika now has exclusive use of these blocks.
Prices range on flight time and chopper.

The old fixed wing guys (Gerrard) were great, bit more casual on weight limit, would drop off a nice cake and would stay to have a chat.

Not cheap, but still, a hell of an experience if you get a few mates together to split costs :D

Would be worth rearranging the trip for that :D
