I booked the ultimate biplane experience for my husband as a birthday gift. He loved it! He had an amazing time. Dave (the pilot) was wonderful, and told us all about his beautiful planes before the flight. And in flight my husband was able to experience several acrobatic maneuvers. A once in a lifetime experience. I HIGHLY recommend!!! -
5 Stars
This was incredible. David was a great tour guide and instructor! I felt safe and well informed about the operations of the aircraft and even when there was a little bump in the ride (watch those thermal drafts) I was confident that I could keep the plane steady with David behind me talking me through it.
