We do our best to monitor TFRs and in most cases we have 24 to 48 hr. warnings. But in some cases, flight restrictions can be imposed with no warning. The LA Dodger games usually affects the Downtown LA portion of our tours.

AMAZING!!!!! Peter was our pilot and was soooo nice ! He explained everything and carefully briefed us on what we were going to do and how to enjoy it. We flew all over and then did the obligatory fly by of the Hollywood sign! We got fabulous pictures and had a great time. I simply will have to come back and do it again!
