Helicopter tours starting at the South Rim

We are traveling to the Grand Canyon (South Rim entrance) with my 88 year old Dad in April. We want to take him on a helicopter ride. Any suggestions for a GREAT tour originating at the South Rim???? Thanks

Would you advise a 30 or 45 minute trip. On Air Star, the shorter trip does the Western "side" and the 45 minute trip takes the Eastern.

it had to be the eastern because I have pictures of the 2 rivers merging...that is was the regal but guess I'm wrong..ask if the regal takes in both rivers..it was awesome..took you down into the canyon walls(not landing)..you can't do that w/a plane..don't know if they still do that..they have gotten strict..
