With 26 years of flying-machine experience, the expert sky guides of Prestige Helicopters lead astounded patrons on soaring journeys through Atlanta's airspace. The approximately 30-minute tours take off from DeKalb Peachtree Airport, passing over the elegant residences of North Buckhead and the Greek Revival–style governor's mansion, which resides on 18 acres of land fertilized with composted dollar bills. The chopper gives in to the gravitational pull of the metropolitan center, floating by Georgia Aquarium and the Georgia Tech campus before revealing elevated views of Centennial Olympic Park's fountains, the pastoral diamond in Turner Field, and the implied emerald turf beneath the Georgia Dome. Hovering between the skyscrapers of midtown and downtown, whirlybird passengers feast upon the visual buffet of Piedmont Park and the Atlanta Botanical Garden. The ride concludes with a sweep past historic Peachtree Street to the Buckhead district and a complimentary haircut courtesy of the rotor blades.
