Isaiah Burch is the editor of Outer Banks Fun and a commercial helicopter pilot based in Manteo, North Carolina. He has spent thousands of hours over the barrier islands between Currituck Beach and Ocracoke Inlet, which is an unusual way to learn a coastline — you see the sandbars move, the inlets shift, and the traffic patterns on Highway 12 build hours before anyone on the ground notices.
He writes and reviews the attraction pages, town guides and itineraries on this site. Every listing is checked against the operator's own website or a phone call before it is published, and re-checked seasonally, because Outer Banks hours, ferry schedules and lighthouse climbing seasons change more often than travel articles suggest.
Outer Banks Fun is owned by Coastal Helicopters Inc., the same company that operates OBX Helicopters. That relationship is disclosed on every page where a helicopter tour is recommended, and it never buys a listing: businesses cannot pay to appear on this site.
