About the experience

Step back in time with a 30-minute Bell 47 helicopter flight lesson from Welshpool Airport in Mid Wales. Flying in G-MASH, this iconic vintage helicopter pays tribute to the classic TV series MASH* and offers a truly unique aviation experience. During your 30-minute lesson, you won’t just be a passenger. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll have the chance to take the controls yourself and even try hovering this legendary aircraft. Finished in authentic khaki Army livery, the Bell 47 is instantly recognisable thanks to its distinctive bubble cockpit and classic design. Lacking much of the modern tech found in today’s helicopters, it delivers a hands-on, engaging flying experience that feels refreshingly raw and authentic. Flights operate from Welshpool Airport and offer a rare opportunity to fly in a historic helicopter that evokes memories of one of television’s most loved shows. A must for fans of vintage aircraft and MASH* alike.
