After I booked a spur of the moment trip to New Orleans I was looking for something different to do. Being a lapsed student pilot this caught my eye.
I hadn’t flown in 13 years and everything was made easy peasy from booking and answering basic questions ( type of plane and type of tour / flying ) everyone was super friendly and helpful.
My instructor was very helpful and awesome. He handled all the radio calls and pointed out some nice sites and helped out when I needed some help landing.
I was able to add more time to my log book which made my day. I recommend them if you want something fun unique and different.
Next time I am down there I will definitely fly again.

Ryan was my instructor and was fantastic! We went over the instruments and then went flying. Not only was the view spectacular, I was able to take some photos. We started with the basics, and then performed a series of maneuvers that was awesome. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in flying or wished they could have.

This was my husband's Christmas present. I paid the extra to be an observer to video and take pics of him flying. The 3 seater broke down so he had to tale a 2 seater which meant i could not go and experience this with him. They credited me but said they would give him more fly time for the hassle but the did not. Disappointed

Guide was great. Encourage me to really fly the plane, instead of just straight and level. Fun experience and felt safe totally

Dillon was the instructor pilot. I had previous flying experience but my daughter had none. After a short ground instruction, we were off to fly. Dillon gave us many options. We went up for 2 hours with a break in between.
Ground staff was very polite and courteous. Dillon was very knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. I was able to ride along with my daughters flight. My daughter got to try it all from taxi to take off to landing. Tour over city was incredible.
The flight has inspired my daughter to pursue her license.
Thank you so much!

Brian was my instructor and with our briefing before the flight and explanation of what we were going to do during the flight, there were no surprises while we were flying.
