WOW WOW WOW WOW. The most exciting experience in the world if you like flying you MUST do this. If you don't like flying you should do it anyway. Wanna pull 5G's? Fly upside down? These are the only two manuevers I'll share with you...yes there are more. Not only is Rocket an excellent pilot, he also has a world... More

Flying a stunt plane was a fantastic experience and one that I will never forget! This was the first time piloting an airplane and not only was it fun, but being a stunt pilot was awesome! Mike “Rocket” Blackstone was an amazing teacher and pilot. The experience started with Mike providing a pre-flight briefing where he explained what to expect,... More

I'm 59 years old and have dreamed of flying a Pitts since I first saw one in an air show twenty years ago. I never thought I would get a chance to ride in one, let alone fly one. I had a business trip to LA and decided to give it a try. Mike and his staff are professional and... More

My birthday gift from my husband was to experience Sky Thrills in an aerobatic biplane. Boy, did I get an experience! After about an hour of instruction with Mike (Rocket), it was time to suit up and get into the plane. Exciting doesn't even begin to describe the experience. After the take-off Mike talks you through piloting the plane and... More

Mike is an awesome dude and a great pilot. He was very knowledgable about the various landmarks and really tailors the experience to what you want out of it. I suggest going all out and gearing up in the flight suits. Bonus: you can buy a video of your flight, filmed through a camera you can control. Totally worth the... More

I am a student pilot travelling to SoCal on business and happen to have a day off for fun. What better way to enjoy the sunshine than taking a ride in an open cockpit bi-plane? I researched various places around Southern California for rides and was impressed with the reviews of SkyThrills services. I called Mike "Rocket" and discussed packages... More

I've wanted to fly for as long as I can remember. I've been able to get involved with various types of aviation, but nothing was quite as amazing as my flight in the Pitts with Rocket at Skythrills. We spent an hour going over the basics of flying an aerobatic aircraft, talking about which maneuvers we (read, I, because he... More

I took my girlfriend on a biplane ride with Mike from sky thrills in Fullerton as a Valentines gift. We both had an amazing time. Mike our pilot was super friendly. He took us out over Catalina island and told us all about the different sites we were able to see going and coming back. I definitely recommend you try... More

Love the ride and knowledge of the staff. They have so much more to offer. Plan to back for more adventure especially being a fighter pilot for a day.
