Customer Reviews
Had a great afternoon. Riding in the plane was an experience that I highly recommend.
Two things about this experience: 1) The flight in a Stearman Bi-Plane. Wow! This is such a fun time in an airplane. It's a beautiful bird and an incredible experience to just sit in the open cockpit with the sound, wind, and scenery. David will do as much or little aerobatics as you're stomach desires, and lets you take the controls if you wish. Talk about a bucket list check=mark! 2) Your pilot. David Brown might have been made to bring this experience to people. His love and knowledge of aviation and genuine friendliness make him the perfect guide for this experience. I felt like I'd known David my whole life, and couldn't have felt more appreciated. It seemed like it was such a joy for him to be able to take me up in the air with him for a while. This is definitely the type of experience that you must have on your bucket list, and if it's something you'd like to do, you're guaranteed to get the most our of it by booking this very one.
