Flight details:
Guimbal Cabri G2 / B7794
Shanghai XSquare Aviation / 上海啸翔通航
Qingpu to Qingpu 2019 September 16 (6 minutes flight time)
I first spotted this Cabri offering rides at the Oriental Green Boat scenic area near the mock aircraft carrier exhibit. The next day I flew the same helicopter from the operator's base in a Qingpu District industrial estate. This is their shortest and least expensive flight offering, advertised as 4 minutes, but it turned out to be 6 minutes. This short flight doesn't offer too many special views, but did make some low passes over nearby farmland and a rather impressive approach over the industrial buildings when returning to base.
