Anna Thompson is captain of the EasiYo Tactix netball team here in Canterbury, competing in the ANZ trans-tasman netball championship. Anna recently took a Trial Flight here at Garden City Helicopters and had this to say about her experience:

 

"I was lucky enough to experience a Trial Flight with Garden City Helicopters. As soon as I walked in the door I was warmly welcomed by the crew and briefed on the flight. Full of nerves and a constant smile on my face we took off for a trip of a lifetime. If the excitement of being my first time in a helicopter wasn't enough I even got to take control (under expert supervision of course) and got a true feeling of the skill involved in handling such a powerful machine. This was such an amazing thrill and one that I wont forget! " - Anna Thompson
