One little tidbit, it gets kinda hairy when the guy was skirting the cliff face. I was Trying to put the hardazz face on but I might've crapped myself. $$ but worth it. There's been a few fatal wrecks but not for years, wouldn't worry now though.

I flew for Papillon about 20 years ago (on the South Rim). All the operators are good and have excellent maintenance - they have to be. The regulatory scrutiny they are under these days really forces them to keep their noses clean. I would get an older pilot if possible but many of them are on the younger side, if the pilot is hot-doggin he's out of line. Get a front seat and pay a little more for the enhanced tours.
