Like the real Amelia Earhart, Hilary Swank traveled around the world while shooting the film Amelia, in theaters today. They even spent a few very notable days in picturesque Halifax, Nova Scotia where they recreated Earhart's departure on the plane "Friendship," which landed in Wales less than a day later, making Amelia the first woman to cross the Atlantic by plane.

In honor of Amelia, here are a few tips to having a high-flying getaway of your own in Nova Scotia:

You don't need a pilot's license, to see the sights of Halifax from above. Air Vision Services provides custom helicopter tours of Halifax and Nova Scotia year round. Tours can be 30 minutes, 60 minutes or as long as you would like to charter the aircraft. They will take you over the city or along the coastline, you get to call the shots and choose what you want to see. You can email Air Vision at info@visionairhelicopters.ca for rates and availability.
