From the time I called up to book my ride (5000 ft acrobatic) to when we arrived, to going up, everything was handled great! The pilot made us feel very comfortable, was safety-conscious, and the ride was fantastic! Highly recommend this, it's convenient to Phoenix, and we worth it.

If you are an earth bound misfit, this is the place to go. Dan (my pilot) was great, very experienced and just a great guy. One thing to remember is that if you take the scenic ride, go in the afternoon and if you take the aerobatic ride, go in the mourning. Had a great time with my friend tim.... More

Carl Baxter was my pilot. We did Wingovers, Loops, Cloverleaf, Hammerhead, Roll, Inverted, and low Pass. He gave me an amazing ride. This is our third time visiting and we can't wait to return again. Neva F.

My husband gave me this for an anniversary gift.....better than jewelry! What an amazing experience and is in my memory to be visited over and over again. Staff was friendly and professional. My pilot, Teague, put me at ease and it's apparent, although young, loves what he does and is good at it. Highly recommend!!!!!

I took an advanced ride in a sail plane (glider) and it scared the hell out of me. When my pilot began barrel-rolls and loop-the-loops I thought I was going to get ill but I hung on and completed the flight. Although it was a great experience I should not have taken the advanced ride.

My husband really wanted to go on the glider. The price was unbelievable, and the smile on his face when he landed was priceless!! The shack was a little deceiving, and in need of some repairs (my foot fell through the wood on the step) and if I hadn't heard all about them I might have been scared away from... More

My husband and I each went up with Carl in 2012 for an acrobatic glider plane ride. Whatever I had envisioned about a soft, mellow float through the air was wrong! Our rides were like Space Mountain at Disneyland but all on wind power. Awesome, as in the dictionary definition! Practice your breathing and go for it because this is... More
