I fly in the most expensive place near Manhattan, it's $275/hr + instructor, for flight time only, not for 'total time' so it actually is more affordable than people think. I fly around 1hr every 3 weeks on average, not too expensive if you ask me.
And, an airplane is about $125/hr on average, so that's even cheaper. Most heli, like airplane accidents are pilot error, so discounting that it's safer to fly than to drive.
