"We booked with Amelia & Dan the man took us on an epic adventure. Our 2 sons 4 & 11 had never flown before. It was a light wind but the entire ride was smooth including a perfect 10 landing. As we were crossing over Colington harbor Dan had asked where we lived & when we told him it was near by he immediately banked north"

"Amazing! We took the 20 min ride and it was fantastic. We have a family of 4 so we took turns and scheduled 2 rides. We all loved it! The pilot was awesome. She pointed out things of interest as we flew over them, and flying over the Wright Brother's memorial was a neat experience."
