My pilot was superb! Whole flying experience was amazing!
The whole experience lasted for an hour rather than 1.5 hours so this site misled with that info. Besides that, this has been a highlight of my year! Love all the staff and my instructor was quite enthusiastic, fun, and informative.
The experience was amazing. Kierra was an informative , patient, and all around great instructor. I will likely do it again. Rick S
