What Makes Gunship Helicopters Different From Other Las Vegas Experiences?
Gunship Helicopters combines helicopter flight with a guided aerial shooting experience involving fully automatic machine guns.
The experience brings together desert scenery, doors-off helicopter flight, aerial shooting, professional pilots, Range Safety Officers, maintenance personnel, drivers, and sales support. Guests are not simply taking a traditional sightseeing flight or visiting a standard shooting range.
For Jenelle, what makes Gunship Helicopters memorable is the attention given to guests at every stage of their visit. The team works to make each person feel welcome, important, and supported regardless of their prior experience with helicopters or firearms.
How Does the Team Help Nervous Guests?
Jenelle has met many guests who feel nervous about flying in a helicopter or being around firearms for the first time. One guest early in Jenelle’s time at Gunship Helicopters was particularly afraid of flying. The guest had heard negative stories about helicopters and had been discouraged by family members from participating.
Jenelle stayed with the guest as they approached the aircraft and helped her feel supported. The Range Safety Officers and pilot also treated the guest’s concerns with care and respect. After the flight, the guest returned emotional and excited. She thanked Jenelle and said she felt unstoppable.
For Jenelle, experiences like this are a reminder that guests sometimes arrive with more than ordinary nerves. A calm conversation, a safety briefing, and thoughtful guidance and support can help someone feel ready to face a new challenge.
What Would Jenelle Tell a First-Time Guest?
Jenelle’s message is that it is normal to feel nervous. Guests do not need previous helicopter or firearms experience to take part. Pilots, Range Safety Officers, drivers, sales staff, and operational team members are there to provide information, safety briefings, and guidance throughout the experience.
She encourages guests to ask questions, listen to the safety procedures, and give themselves permission to try something outside their comfort zone.
“You are worth this experience,” Jenelle says. “ Life is meant to be lived, and sometimes the experiences that scare you a little are the ones you’ll remember most.”
What Does Jenelle Enjoy Most About Gunship Helicopters?
Jenelle’s favorite part of Gunship Helicopters is the team. She values the people who work in demanding desert conditions while supporting guests who may have never held a firearm or flown in a helicopter. She appreciates the care, effort, and positive energy that the team brings to every experience.
From sales staff and drivers to Range Safety Officers, pilots, maintenance personnel, management, and ownership, Jenelle sees Gunship Helicopters as a company built around people working together.
