Grandson’s First Flight

Great experience. Noah, the pilot was the best. Very attentive to my 10 year old grandson. It wouldn’t surprise me if my grandson wanted to become a pilot.

Flying over our home was awesome!

We had a wonderful experience taking a flight tour in Union County, North Carolina. One of the highlights was to actually fly in circles above our home, getting a once in a lifetime birds eye view of our “home-sweet-home” nest. Our pilot was Meredith Trinkle and she was AMAZING and kind and fun and we were impressed with her knowledge and piloting skills... bottom line, we just loved everything about flying with her!!! We hope to do this again someday!

Outstanding Birthday Present

I received the Flight Tour as a birthday present and had the greatest time. Our pilot, Jeff, was outstanding. We were able to see everything on our wish list and more. Great time and experience.

Wonderful Experience

I purchased this as a birthday gift for my mom and dad who have never flown. Dad is 79 and Mom is 75. Diana was the instructor for the flight and it was absolutely wonderful how she treated everyone that day. My dad still has a grin on his face.... Highly recommend this experience!

Charlotte Scenic Flight Tour

My 11 year old daughter and I had an amazing time. This was a birthday present for my daughter and when the pilot found out he immediately focused all his attention on her. He showed us pre-flight procedures and explained everything he was doing. After pre-flight we go in, buckled up and from then on it was 'hands on'. My daughter got to taxi the plane on the runway, actually fly the plane (with his help of course), make turns in the air, control the throttle etc. She loved it. We even did a couple touch and go landings at two different airports. We had a blast and I got to create a life long memory with my little girl.

Absolutely brilliant hour long flight around the Charlotte area. We loved being able to see the lake and the mountains from the air, and my husband also got to fly the plane, which made him very happy! Our pilot was friendly and helpful too - a really nice chap. Highly recommended experience.
