An Unobstructed View From the Sky

One of the biggest attractions of a doors-off helicopter experience is the view.

Without a door between you and the scenery, you can experience a remarkable open-air perspective as Pittsburgh unfolds beneath you.

The city's combination of rivers, bridges, architecture, hills and skyline makes it an incredible location to experience from above.

It's exciting.

It's different.

And it's something you're unlikely to forget.

A Dream Experience for Photographers

Looking for incredible aerial photographs of Pittsburgh?

A doors-off helicopter flight provides photographers with an opportunity to capture aerial perspectives without shooting through a helicopter window.

From Pittsburgh's skyline and bridges to its rivers and surrounding landscape, there are countless opportunities to capture images from an entirely different perspective.

Professional and amateur photographers interested in specific photography needs should contact Vortex in advance to discuss their goals and available flight options.

Safety Is Always the Priority

A doors-off helicopter flight may feel adventurous, but safety remains our first priority.

Passengers receive instructions before the flight and must follow all crew directions and safety requirements throughout the experience.

Doors-off flights are also subject to appropriate weather, aircraft configuration, passenger requirements and operational conditions.

If conditions aren't appropriate for a doors-off operation, safety always comes first.
