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 Milwaukee facility located at the Milwaukee Mitchell Int'l Airport, our team coordinates the timing of the drop with you, and the helicopter handles the rest from above.

"Mom hasn't stopped talking about it."
We threw my mom's 70th birthday party at her house in Wauwatosa, with about 25 of us packed into the backyard. My sister suggested a petal drop and I figured we'd try it. The MyFlight team made the booking easy. They asked the right questions about the property and made sure we knew the helicopter wouldn't take off until we confirmed everyone was outside.
I made the call when we had Mom out on the patio for what she thought was the cake reveal. 10 minutes later the helicopter came over the house. Five pounds of red rose petals fell over the whole yard. Mom looked at me like I'd lost my mind, then looked up. She hasn't stopped talking about it since.

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.
