Anyone know if helicopter tours exist? Found some in Gran Canaria but nothing on Fuerteventura. Or even a light aircraft trip? Wondering if maybe it is not possible due to the flight path and airport location. Have seen plenty of drone videos but would love to see the island from above.

None that I have ever heard of, we see the occasional
Police or Emergency helicopters { Coast guard} and we have seen an Air ambulance, but that is just about it
To me drinking responsibly means do not spill it.

My son would love it but I think I might need a couple of cold beers first.

Not sure this is still operating, drove past there yesterday afternoon, no sign of life, anyway none that we could see.

Can't guarantee it's still being used but the only time we ever saw any sign of life was when we had the flight booked. Even then we arrived about 30 minutes early and the guy only turned up with 5 minutes to spare. He worked at somewhere in Puerto as his main job, the planes were his hobby which he shared when he had a booking. I seem to remember he had the small plane and another contraption which looked a bit like a helicopter! We do see a small plane fly down the coast past us now and again which I presumed was the same guy.
I've searched back through my records and found an email from 2014 when OH had his flight. The guy's name was Aridane and this was his email:
aridane urquia gutierrez [mailto:aerodromoeljarde@hotmail.com]
I emailed in Google translated Spanish.
