John was absolutely wonderful and very friendly..
4.5 / 5 stars
My wife Katie and I both went for the bi-plane ride. Our pilot, John, was truly terrific! He called the night before to make sure everything was still good and called the next morning to warn us of possible weather moving in. Upon our arrival, he greeted us very warmly and we both felt like we had known him for a long time. He kept us in conversation for much of the trip and the way he handled the plane was a thrill. I've been telling everyone I know about the experience and would love to do it again someday. Thanks to you and your staff for making it easy and to our pilot, John, for making it such a thrilling experience. Chip and Katie Adams Severna Park, MD
