This was Amazing! Isaac our boarding attendant was super helpful and took the time to show us everything, the pilot, Phil was awesome! A great place to do something fun. The guys at the desk were super friendly. Everyone there made us feel comfortable and at ease with doing something we had never done before. I recommend everyone to at least try this once. It was a great experience! And we will definitely be taking a longer ride next time!

Loved our tour with Nick. Had a great tour. The pilot Nick was very friendly and made our family of 4 very comfortable. He told us about the local sights we were flying over and gave us suggestions for other fun activities we could do in the area. We will definitely request him when we return to the area again!
