He was probably thinking of bumblebees
I have been in a helicopter three times, all as gifts:
Once around New York
Once around the Grand Canyon
Once around Niagara Falls
I enjoyed all of them, but probably wouldnāt spend that much if it was my choice. Not very environmentally friendly, either.
The type where the pilot is a businessman, sports star or a celebrity?

Gyrocopter? They have very high failure rates.
I did a helicopter piloting lesson a few years back - very difficult to control. They are rigid/have zero suspension so the idea is that you land them as softly as possible. Not me, just flew it pretty much straight into the ground 
No it was a little one but not as small as that
Went in helicopters a couple of times as an air cadet (nerrrrrds.jpg), they are loud, bumpy, rattly, and (air force ones at least) fucking cold. I mean, the ones I went in were at least 30 years old. They were these, I sat by the door like it was a Bugsy Malone version of Apocalypse Now.

Like that scene in Deep Blue Sea
Knew it felt familiar
Only found it while looking for this. You couldnāt pay me to get in a helicopter.
You have just got married, congratulations! As a beautiful wedding gift you have been given an hour flight in a helicopter over your favourite part of the world where your perfect wedding took place. Champagne throughout. As you are about to board you hear the pilot say to their co-pilot āodd, but it seems fine nowā
- lets do this!
- No Iām scared

I have done this and I enjoyed it. Unlike many natural wonders, the Grand Canyon exceeded my expectations.
I thought it was boring and just a big expanses of rock
Different strokes
