Had a great unforgetable experience! Recommend "Virgin Experience Gifts" to anyone wanting to give an extraordinary gift to a special loved one or friend they know. This type of opportunity you just can't obtain anywhere. Loved sitting in the cockpit and actually flying the plane (with the instructor beside me - thankfully)! This opens up a whole new world of cool experiences one can do that would otherwiswe be impossible. Thank you!

Whether you’ve always dreamed of becoming a pilot or just want to experience something new, this discovery flight is your ticket to the skies!
Your adventure kicks off when you meet your FAA-Certified instructor at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport. Together, you’ll perform a preflight inspection before slipping into the pilot’s seat.
Experience a wave of excitement as you assist your instructor with taxiing and takeoff. Then, once you reach cruising altitude, it’s all you! Take the controls and learn basic maneuvers while soaring across the sky. After approximately 35 to 40 minutes of flight time, your instructor will safely land the aircraft back on solid ground.
