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.
