This was a great experience for husband and son who both had a blast. Mike made them - and me- feel very comfortable with the safety features and them gave them the best ride ever. Disney paled in comparison after that ride. More

I am way past due for this review, I flew in July. I choose the hour upgrade and it was worth every penny. The staff is so friendly the rate is only a fraction of similar services elsewhere. I highly reccomend this for all thrill series's. Chuck Pless Las vegas, NV More

I did the 35 minute thrill ride in the Pitts and felt like a got ever pennies worth. Mike runs SkyThrills and his love... More

This was a great experience. Definitely something that is outside the box. Consider this the number ONE gift for anyone you know who loves to fly......inverted... If you always wanted to fly like a stunt pilot, here is your chance on a platter. More

This is the best flight experience period. Mike and his "Thrill Rides" staff and facility is first class. You do not have to be a pilot to experience the best high performance aircraft available today. You can fly from just after takeoff to just before landing and have the best time of your life. Mike Blackstone is all about safety... More

My husband took me to this father and son operated attraction for my 40th birthday. Michael Blackstone Jr. greeted us warmly upon our arrival, even though we got there a bit early. The trip began with a brief, but comprehensive explanation of all safety procedures (how to operate your parachute, what "not" to touch in the plane, what to do... More

Ever had any aspirations to be a pilot ? Ever wanted to do something that you'll *never, ever* forget ? Ever wanted to brag about something to your friends that you did and have them tell you, "You're crazy !" If you answered "Yes" to any of those questions, you HAVE to do this !!
