What happens on the day
Enter the thrilling world of aviation! This flight demo provides instruction on the ground and in the air for a fully-immersive experience.
Meet up with an FAA-certified instructor for a lesson in all things airplanes! You'll learn basic flight techniques, controls, and the key components of an airplane. See for yourself how to approve a plane for flight with a pre-flight inspection. Once your initial overview is complete, put your knowledge to the test with a 30-minute Redbird flight simulator.
This simulator is used to train professional pilots, so you’ll enjoy an authentic flight-school experience. Practice take offs, turns, leveling off the plane, and landing. Once you've got the hang of things, step aboard a Cessna 172 single-prop plane for a thrilling ride into the sky! Your instructor will be with you the whole time, so your experience will be as safe and fun as possible!
This 1.5-hour flight experience includes a logbook where you can record your first flight time. This time can be put toward getting your pilot's license, should you choose to pursue one. There will be plenty of time for questions and to practice your techniques. Be sure to capture photos of the awe-inspiring views during your flight.
