My flight trainer was open to my walking through the prep process of the plane and explained every detail. He was verry calm and comforting to my unease of flying. The receptionist and all of the staff members were courteous, friendly and helpful.

Excellent experience. Very knowlegeble instructor.

— Paul B | May 07, 2019

I had a wonderful experience! I would recommend this tour to everyone who visits Las Vegas.

— Yves H | Aug 25, 2018

Plane was small and old looking, but overall experience was great. Pilot was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease.

— Ronnie W | Aug 31, 2016

Great experience! My son is thinking about becoming a pilot and this was perfect for him. The trainer was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we first went through a flight check procedure on the ground, then a classroom style session about flying, and then the flight itself. Both my son and I loved it all! The plane we were in seated 4, so I was even able to tag along on the flight itself. My son was able to fly the plane for an hour and absolutely loved the experience. The flight people were great and would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about flying a plane. How could you not love flying a real plane around Las Vegas?

— Jason F | Jul 16, 2016

Great experience and flight. I was slightly confused about how the scheduling process worked, but it went smoothly and very quickly. Flight was perfect. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. There was a lot going on in the aircraft, but the instructor let me focus on the primary flight controls and getting a feel for the aircraft while he monitored the aircraft's systems, watched for traffic, and communicated with other aircraft and air traffic control. The instructor was meticulous and had a safety first (and second and third) attitude. The instructor very knowledgeable and adjusted the flight to my somewhat experienced level. As a bonus, it was a perfect day to fly.

— David S | May 31, 2016

Wish they had some sort of photography/video options, and a nice viewing area for family/friends.

— Alex K | Mar 27, 2016

My instructor was amazing, If I didn't live in Henderson I would have already booked with her to do my flight school and certificate.

— Tom W | Feb 27, 2016

it was a great time. The only thing I would do is have better information on where the air office is in Las Vegas.

— Bob B | Dec 04, 2015

This was an amazing experience!! Thrilling and exciting. I will recommend to all of my friends.

— Yasushi S | Jun 21, 2015

Pilot was very experienced and thorough in his instruction prior to the flight. My time on the ground and in the air was not overwhelming, and the experience will stay with me for a lifetime.

— Aaron S | Jun 06, 2015

The entire experience, from booking to flight, was perfect. There was nothing that could have been done differently that would have made this experience more enjoyable.

— Randy J | Jan 31, 2015

I had a great time flying the Cessna 172 around the Northern Las Vegas Desert. The instructor was very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely do this experience again. Thanks!

— Paul B | Sep 03, 2013

This was an experience I will remember for a lifetime! It was all and more than I had expected. Being able to handle the flight controls and experience the feeling of being in control was exhilarating! It is something I would highly recommend. My pilot, Joseph Edwards, was extremely professional, helpful, and friendly. He literally gave me a flight lesson. This was not just an "airplane ride". I loved it!
