Petals From Above
Most of the petal drops we fly are for funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life. We also fly them for proposals, vow renewals, prom send-offs, and milestone birthdays. The service runs the same way regardless of occasion: you host the gathering at a location of your choice within 25 nautical miles of our Baltimore facility located at the Martin State Airport, our team coordinates the timing of the drop with you, and the helicopter handles the rest from above.

"Easily the best surprise I've ever pulled off."
My wife turned 40 in May and I wanted to do something she'd actually remember. We were having a backyard party at our place in Towson with about 30 people. I'd seen videos of helicopter petal drops online and thought it was either going to be the coolest thing ever or way too over the top. Turned out to be the right call.
The MyFlight team was easy to work with. They asked a bunch of questions about the property and the neighborhood to make sure the drop would be safe, which I get. The day of the party, I was the point of contact. They told me they wouldn't take off until I confirmed everyone was outside, so I waited until I had her in the right spot and texted them. About a 5 minutes later, the helicopter came over the trees. It hovered for a few seconds and the petals just started falling. Way more than I expected and they actually came down right on top of us!
She had no idea it was coming. The look on her face when she figured out what was happening was the whole reason I booked it. Half our guests had their phones out and got it on video. Worth every dollar.

As low as the conditions safely allow. The exact altitude depends on the location, surrounding terrain, air traffic, and airspace restrictions. Your pilot makes the call.
No. Some locations can't be flown over due to airspace restrictions, safety considerations, or access limitations. If your location isn't approved, we'll work with you on alternatives.
We reschedule at no charge. Memorials often have tight timing constraints, so we prioritize these reschedules.
No. The drop is designed for the people on the ground. Only MyFlight staff is approved on the flight during the drops.
We will only release the petals when the point of contact for the event explicitly says the entire group is ready. Once confirmed, the helicopter will depart and drop the powder. The helicopter will not hover waiting for the group to be ready, so be sure to have everyone outside!
We typically still fly in windy conditions. However, excessive winds will require us to reschedule. We cannot guarantee that the petals will land directly overhead due to wind conditions. Our pilots and staff try their best to ensure it gets as close to the group as possible.
