Your journey begins as you take to the sky from Ellington Field. You will be surrounded by a diverse assortment of fascinating military aircraft as you depart towards Galveston Island. The Island is built on a sandbar, and is unique in its ambiance and character. The Island lays claim to a very fascinating and colorful past! Prior to arrival you will pass the Texas City Refineries, Tiki Island and the controversial Galveston Causeway Bridge. Admire the breathtaking and serene beauty of Galveston Bay as you approach Moody Gardens. You will see the famous glass pyramids, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, and many other spectacular points of interest. You will also pass the San Louis Hotel as we fly a few miles along the very worthy Galveston Seawall! The Strand, Galveston's charming historical district, was known as the Wall Street of the Southwest. It now has one of the biggest collections of historic buildings in the United States, and you will get to be a part of it as we fly along its illustrious street.

The Cruise Ship Terminal is our next destination before we head to Pelican Island. From there we cross the channel to the Texas City Dike, a beloved and enduring landmark, and follow it to Texas City. Clear Lake is next and then the Johnson Space Center, where you will see the ground based antenna used to receive video from the Apollo Moon Missions, Mission Control and Rocket Park. Rocket Park proudly displays Mercury Redstone, Saturn V, and Little Joe II.

The final portion of your tour involves enjoying the beautiful scenery of the surrounding areas as we head back towards Ellington field.

The Grande Finale being the thrill and excitement of personally experiencing the helicopter's unique pattern of descent and touchdown. It is an absolute Paradigm!
