If you've always dreamed of flying but were never really sure where to start... this is the perfect experience for you! Take to the skies behind the controls of a real aircraft during this approximately 1-hour introductory flight!
Your experienced instructor will meet you at the airport and give you an approximately 30-minute briefing prior to the flight. Together, you will check over the plane and review all safety procedures. For this intro flight you will be flying a Cessna 172, one of the most popular training air crafts in the world. Before you know it, it will be time to climb into the cockpit and fire up the engine!
Your FAA-Certified Flight Instructor will handle take-off and landing, but you'll have to controls while in the air. Practice your basic flight maneuvers and soak in the amazing views during the nearly 60-minute flight. If you'd like, you can even bring a passenger along (pending weight restrictions) to share in this unforgettable experience with you!
After landing, you will have the opportunity to take some photos with your instructor and the plane. Photos will be emailed to you after the experience.
Your first flight is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so prepare for an unforgettable experience and come learn to fly!

It was very fun and informative I learned a lot about what I will have to do on the private pilots license test to get my license and basics on how to fly a plane in general.

Hi, Michael! Wow, that's such a great review to see - thanks a bunch for taking the time to leave your thoughts with us! Is there any better feeling than taking the controls? I don't think so! Soon enough you'll be soaring around the sky like a pro. Cheers, Jake.

Thank you so much for letting us know!

Best,

It was great! We flew over lake Lanier
— Summer C | May 10, 2019
Amazing!!!! My boyfriend was beyond measure happy. He kept saying he actually got to fly the plane, in the pilot seat, he didn't know he was actually going to have the amount of time really controlling and learning to fly. I got to ride along with him and the pilot. It was very enjoyable even from my seat. It's definitely an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime! 1354

We hope to see you back again soon for more memorable experiences! Best, Kelsey
