San Marcos Texas

Awesome Experience

The best experience I've ever had in my life!! My trainer was professional and Awesome!! Wish her the best of luck in her new endeavors. Would highly recommend this to anyone to add to their bucket list. Maybe getting my pilot license is in the near future. Words cannot explain how thrilling and enjoyable this was. 5 Stars


Moosup

Very novel, fun, & great experience!

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!

    It was a real thrill to be on the track alone in the car. I could not understand my coach, but it didn't matter. I am a very aggressive and fearless driver. I really enjoyed the first 2 laps with pedal to the metal. The 3rd lap I caught up to the next driver and the governor kept me from passing. They set it up so you can't pass - no passing on the curve and they pull to the center on the straight so you can't get around plus if you try they turn the governor on. More time would have been a waste of money. They pulled me in on the 4th lap. I really enjoyed the first 2 and understand why they won't let you pass due to safety issues, even though they don't tell you. Would not repeat it, it was enough. I really enjoyed Dawn's coaching and personal touch. Thank you for the experience and opportunity.
