  • My husband loves all things planes (and anything fast) so I bought this as a gift for him. I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the description and the reviews, And I was really nervous that it was gonna be kinda lame. Turns out it was amazing! My husband had a great time, he got to hold the controls and apply accelerator and learned a lot about flying a small plane on his experience. The pilot he partnered with was very gracious, patient, indulging, and kind. If my hard to impress husband thought that this was a really cool experience, then your loved one will really enjoy it! Don’t hesitate!
