Response from Cloud 9 Living

Hey Sadaf thanks for the great review! I will let Paul know you enjoyed learning to fly with him. We hope you have a great rest of your week! Best, Kelsey

the flight was very easy to book. My instructor, David Hopely, was inspiring, calm and professional and yet very friendly and easygoing. I took my flight very seriously and I though it was very challenging,intense and required a lot of concentration. The plane was very manageable. I will definitely do it again!

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with us, Katie! I will make sure to pass along your kind words to our flight school and let them know you enjoyed David's instruction and company. Sounds like you're a real pilot-to-be and we really hope your aviation career takes off! Best, Kelsey

The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely do it again!

— Kim R | Apr 15, 2019

My instructor Dave was the best. He was instructional on the controls so that a novice could understand what and how to do. By time he was done I thought I could have landed the plane. Thank God I didn't. Great experience would recommend to everybody.

— WILLIAM M | Jan 02, 2019

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Hey William, we absolutely agree with you that Dave is an amazing instructor and we are glad you had a great experience! Hopefully we will be seeing you back soon for more adventures but until then Happy New Year!!! Best, Kelsey

This was my second flight gift for my husband and he liked both alot. He flew the plane literally. Before the flight I got afraid that the pilot is gonna fly the plane and my husband is gonna just sit next to him, but I was wrong definitely. My husband was in control most of the times, and that is what we wanted. Our instructor Gene was so helpful, experienced and friendly. We cannot thank him enough. We definitely recommend this.

— Enrico D | Jul 23, 2018

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE-THE PILOT/INSTRUCTOR ALLOWED ME TO TAXI,TAKE OFF,FLY VECTORS AND LAND THE AIRCRAFT. HAVING BEEN A FORMER NAVAL AVIATOR, IT WAS EXCITING TO BE ABLE TO RELIVE SOME PAST EXPERIENCES. I WOUILD RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE A GOOD INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD OF AVIATION--I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE!!!

— Richard G | Aug 28, 2017

First time flying and had a great experience. Engaged instructor and good weather.

— Mark R | Mar 19, 2018

Response from Cloud 9 Living

Good Afternoon Mark! I hope you have had a fantastic week so far and thank you for sharing it with us! I will be sure to let our instructor know how much you enjoyed your time with them! What a great gift to try your hand at flying, I do hope we see you again for another lesson. All the best, Chelsea

The young lady at check-in was super sweet and great to deal with. She really made me feel welcome. Joe (my pilot) couldn't be any more nice and patient. He was very knowledgeable and informative. Joe may me feel relaxed and comfortable. If I had the money I'd have him teach me to be a pilot. I know he would teach me the right way. He was great.

— Andy D | Jul 24, 2017

It was a great gift for my boyfriend, he loved it

— Brandon B | Jun 26, 2017

It was such an amazing opportunity. I highly recommend everybody does this or something like this.

— Adam E | Feb 05, 2017

I have just one word: FANTASTIC!

— Jose V | Oct 31, 2016

I absolutely loved my experience! My flying instructor was so knowledgeable, reassuring and interesting that I was immediately at ease and looking forward to the flight. The flight itself was exciting and the whole morning was extremely enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it.

— Anne C | Jul 25, 2016

This experience was great. It was better that I thought. The Instructor was very professional.

— Arnaldo M | Jul 18, 2016

I had an unforgettable experience. The Pilot and the staff at Freeflight Aviation LLC were knowledgeable, professional and exceptionally pleasant.

— Patrick D | May 01, 2016

Thank you and already responded to Barbara and Don at Flying W. LOVED IT, EXCELLENT!!!!

— Robert K | Apr 12, 2016

My flying experience really gave me the boost I needed to pursue my private pilot's license. It was such an experience that I can't wait for my next flight!

— Marco A | Mar 14, 2016

I had a great time! My instructor, Shannon, was an awesome guy with tons of knowledge to share. Highly recommended the one-hour flight lesson. I wish Medford Airport was closer to me, I would have absolutely signed up for further flight lessons/classes there.

— Dennis F | Jan 10, 2016

Pilot knowledge however he was late did not give us our full half hour in the air and the props used to get familiar with the plane inside was an old beat up piece of cardboard

— Steve W | Feb 21, 2018

Received confirmation via e-mail. When we called the day before to re-confirm there was no record that it had ever been booked. We had to do it ourselves which is what I thought I paid Cloud9 to do. I could have booked directly myself and not had to pay the extra money for the service.
