      A lemur flying over New Orleans
      After I booked a spur of the moment trip to New Orleans I was looking for something different to do. Being a lapsed student pilot this caught my eye. I hadn’t flown in 13 years and everything was made easy peasy from booking and answering basic questions ( type of plane and type of tour / flying ) everyone was super friendly and helpful. My instructor was very helpful and awesome. He handled all the radio calls and pointed out some nice sites and helped out when I needed some help landing. I was able to add more time to my log book which made my day. I recommend them if you want something fun unique and different. Next time I am down there I will definitely fly again.

      First time flying and can’t wait to go back!
      Ryan was my instructor and was fantastic! We went over the instruments and then went flying. Not only was the view spectacular, I was able to take some photos. We started with the basics, and then performed a series of maneuvers that was awesome. I highly recommend this for anyone interested in flying or wished they could have.

      Great experience. Highly recommended
      Dillon was the instructor pilot. I had previous flying experience but my daughter had none. After a short ground instruction, we were off to fly. Dillon gave us many options. We went up for 2 hours with a break in between. Ground staff was very polite and courteous. Dillon was very knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. I was able to ride along with my daughters flight. My daughter got to try it all from taxi to take off to landing. Tour over city was incredible. The flight has inspired my daughter to pursue her license. Thank you so much!

      Brian was my instructor and with our briefing before the flight and explanation of what we were going to do during the flight, there were no surprises while we were flying.

      A fantastic company! Great customer support from beginning to end. As a NOLA local, our pilot, Ian was a consummate professional. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable. I would recommend this company unreservedly.

      The tour was absolutely beautiful and the pilots were very well informed about the city and gave a knowledgeable tour of New Orleans. It rained a few hours before so we didn’t get to see the sunset completely bc but the sky still looked amazing. The only thing I would say is that it seemed a little short we did get the 30 minute tour but it was more like 18-20 minutes. The ride didn’t feel rushed and I feel the pilots did all they could just wished I could get a little more bang for the Buck. The memories were still worth it though!

      Great Time, Educational and Easy
      Dylan, my flight instructor, was friendly, awesome, and patiently answered all of my questions. He made flying seem accessible. I'm grateful for the smooth process. I didn't really have to wait. And in case anyone is wondering, (as of July 2022) I was not required to wear a mask or show proof of covid vaccination. 😁

      Top notch!
      Absolutely a must! To view our home in a way we haven't seen before was one of the most memorable moments to date. We had an incredible time and could not recommend it enough! The whole staff was friendly, thoughtful, informative, and made our safety and enjoyment a priority. We can't wait to do it again!

    Great!!! Amazing tour of the city of New Orleans, the Mississippi River, and Lake Pontchartrain. Very knowledgeable history of the area including information about
    the devastating carnage left by Hurricane Katrina. The pilot pointed out places we could visit that she thought we might enjoy while we are here, that was very helpful. We learned the history of some buildings which was very interesting. The Mississippi River was wider than I thought.

    This is our first flight and it was so comfortable it was unreal. Loved it, plan on flying more.

    This was one of my favorite things that I did in New Orleans. My best friend and I took a tour with Trent as our pilot. He made us feel safe and comfortable the entire flight. Everyone who works there is so knowledgable and friendly. Highly recommend and get Trent as your pilot! He was the best!! :)
