Learn to Fly

Omg this was an amazing experience! I had done flight simulators but nothing can compare to actually flying! Taking off was a feeling I could never put into words! The instructor let me take off and fly the entire time! This was one of the most freeing experiences ever I highly recommend this experience to anyone who always wanted to experience flying a plane the simulators don’t even come close to this!

Picked a date that showed available on the calendar but wasn’t actually available. The process would be smooth if there was a number to speak to someone directly to get booked but after some back and forth via email we got the experience booked. I called the day of the booking as the email stated and confirmed in the morning after being told that they might not able to go ahead with our booking because of needing clearance for a football game. Then I receive a call a couple hours prior to our scheduled time and they tell me that they won’t be able to go through with the booking because the plane needs maintenance, at this point I was regretting purchasing this experience and I told them how unprofessional for them to call me a few hours before our actual time. The scheduler then proceeded to check if there was another plane available to fly and luckily found one at the same time. In my opinion, he should’ve probably already checked that before calling to cancel on me. We get there and find out that the flight is only one hour, not the 2 hours you pay for. The pilot had already done the preflight checks by himself that I was under the impression was supposed to be done with us. The advertisement for this experience is completely misleading because you’re being charged for time that you don’t even get. We went over the red rocks amphitheater and the side of Rocky Mountains not over as the description has stated. It was a mediocre experience and would not recommend purchasing through them. Maybe other experiences are better but this was not as expected.

My childhood dream has come true, I got to experience true freedom for the first time! I've spent a lot of time in simulators and flying an actual airplane has forever been on my bucket list. My beloved wife decided to gift me a flying lesson for our 5 year anniversary, and IT WAS MAGICAL!!! Preston was my CFI and he was great, just a normal average dude with a sense of humor kept the feeling of flying relaxed and casual. He let me take off the runway!! That feeling alone had me hooked! Feeling the power of the propeller, watching the ground slowly get smaller, looking out the window and going 'hey I just did that!' was memorable at the very least. I had the controls 95 percent of the time while he relaxed and occasionally pointed towards landmarks saying "turn here, head over here..." and I was having the time of my life. I remember a specific point where I had the window open, we're just cruising 110 knots, I got one hand on the yoke, I'm casually hanging my other arm out of the airplane thinking 'this could be my view from the office. This is paradise.' Flying a Cessna is literally easier than driving a car! I lined us up for the runway, used the flaps to bleed off the airspeed, made a stupid sounding radio call (I'm sure atc laughed at it but whatever.) and preston made the final touchdown. After that he let me taxi back. I then discovered that navigating a plane on the ground is a little harder than actually flying it but I figured it out. I've already decided I want to fly again and again. From this point I'm really on the edge of starting professional training. Thank you for the laid back and engaging experience!!! I'll never forget this!

I booked this flight for my birthday, and it was everything I hoped it would be! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a thrill and something unique.

Great instructor!

Our pilot was friendly and knowledgeable, he was an excellent instructor. I’m going to recommend this experience to all my friends and co-workers.

Great introduction to pilot training and the best gift i have ever received.

Booking was convenient and easy. Christina did a great job. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! Memorable day for my bf and I!

Preston was great! Such a good time!

OMG what an amazing experience. Loved it! The pilot (everyone at the airport really) was so friendly and excited for me. It was great. I thought about being a pilot before now I know it!

Chuck was an awesome Flight Instructor! Isaac learned the basics of flight safety, and his first flight lesson was a a fun positive experience he will remember for life! Thank You!

Fantastic. The team at Journey's Aviation was great. Such a fun lesson!

Was worried because they had to cancel original day. But our instructor was great! Knowledgable, friendly, informative, took his time explaining everything. We got way more than I thought we would. Great job Peter. You made my fiance's birthday very special.
