Best time of my life!
I was looking for an interesting activity and I had trouble believing what I was reading: Piloting a plane by myself while I've never done that? After explaining the basic concepts, the instructor will do the take off and that's it! It was a mind blowing experience, and the best time of my life!

Amazing experience!
It was an amazing experience! David is wonderful and makes everything seem so easy and smooth. I got to steer the plane right from the beginning while David talked about the plane, the sight and flying in general. He showed the effect of the g-force how intuitive it is to fly. He planned for me to land the plane too, but we got abnormal wind so he ended up doing it. Great experience!

Fantastic
I bought this for my brother for his birthday and he loved it. They even helped keep the surprise for me until the flight time. Would definitely recommend it. I hope to do it myself sometime too
