What happens on the day
Always dreamed of flying a plane? Now's your chance.
Your adventure begins at the Texas airport of your choice: Hicks Airfield, Bridgeport Municipal Airport, Decatur Municipal Airport, or Aero Valley Airport. After meeting your FAA-certified instructor, you'll start with a pre-flight briefing, learning the basics of your aircraft before climbing into the cockpit.
Then it's time for takeoff! Once you're in the air, you'll take the controls and practice basic flying maneuvers with your instructor by your side, all while enjoying incredible views over the Lone Star State. After approximately 30 to 45 minutes of flight, you'll wrap up with a short post-flight debrief.
Best of all, no previous flying experience is required. Just bring your sense of adventure and get ready to check ‘fly a plane’ off your bucket list!
