About
Take an introductory flight in a FAA certified amphibious trike, (Ultralight/Weight Shift Control/Light Sport Aircraft), with a FAA certified flight instructor. Our open cockpit, powered hang glider is like riding a motorcycle in the sky. We will fly “low and slow” and you’ll experience what it must feel like to be a bird soaring over the landscape.

Wanting a transformational experience? Here it is! Grateful for a dear friend's nudging me to go; listening to Dave's stories, always filled with love and gusto for life; watching from the parking lot; celebrating afterwards. I had to do it. Wow, when Dave calls "Epic," he delivers. (ok, with a little help from Mother Nature at sunset..a good team). Open-air, full on sensory, exquisite intimacy with LIFE, as vistas expanded, curved and shimmered all around. I found myself quiet, savoring, trying to take it all in as we flew above a flock of egrets (envying their anytime view), skimmed across mirrored water, turned again and again to watch the sunset with spectacular cloud formations. Loved the glide moments. (Birds must do this just for the feels). Dave is particularly attentive to safety, and helps you FEEL safe as he gently guides the craft as though it is as natural as breathing to him. Love the partnership of Miss Lou...and talented photos and video to remind you that what you experienced wasn't a dream, and you can relive the memories again and again.

Thank you so very much. Whenever I try to encourage people nervous to fly on Mello Bird I struggle to convey the majesty of what we get to experience. Now I'll just refer them here!! I relived our epic flight again with your beautiful review. Thank you Quay and I so hope we get to fly again one day... maybe you could describe a sunrise flight for me!!😀 Blue Skies

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary by flying with Dave, and we could not have asked for a more fun way to finish our trip to Savannah! Dave and his team are incredibly passionate about what they do, and he made every attempt to accommodate us. We were disappointed when we saw the fog the morning of our flight, but Dave went above and beyond to make sure we could fly, and he took us out later in the afternoon when the skies were clear. He was also incredibly gracious and let us split our hour so that it was a bit more affordable for our student budget. My boyfriend and I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to see Savannah from a new perspective and enjoy the beauty of the GA coast. Cannot recommend enough!

Fly with Amphibian Air, it's an experience you'll never forget! Dave and Miss Lou are awesome people! It's very obvious that they strive to give you a safe, great, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 star experience. I have an amphibious aircraft similar to Dave's and needed a rating to fly it. I drove over 6 hours to Amphibian Air to gain my Weight Shift Control Seaplane rating. I knew after talking to him on the phone that he was going to be a very informative and great instructor. I didn't know he was going to exceed my expectations when I got there. I had other good instructors for my WSC land rating, but Dave takes the cake! He is very verbal and goes into detail about all facets of flying from water. His aircraft named "Mello" is a great platform for instruction. He talks you through everything and is an advocate for checklists. If you have any interest in an awesome, open flying experience or flying in a weight shift control aircraft, do yourself a favor and fly in Mello with Dave. He will make your experience educational, fun, and safe. Then Miss Lou will make you a great video with no extra charge. We need more businesses and definitely more people in this world to be like the great folks at Amphibian Air.

Working with David Myers the owner an instructor of amphibious air was one of the best teachers I've ever seen in my entire life. I would highly recommend anybody to go flying with him one time cuz you want to go to three or four times. Makes you feel so comfortable makes you feel like you're floating in the sky. Explains everything to you thoroughly. One of the highlights of my entire life is flying with David Myers

I'm a Cygnet Pilot/ future Cygnet CFI and Dave was kind enough to give me my flight proficiency check for Weight Shift Control-Sea. Not only was Dave passing on his knowledge and experience, he also passed along an attitude that I hope to share with my passengers. More specifically, sharing this kind of experience with another human being in the Cygnet is something only a few people on the planet can say they have done and we get the honor of sharing that sunrise or sunset (in the air or on a remote sand bar) with you! I can't think of many things more special than that.
Thank you Dave for the knowledge, taking over when my arms got tired or when my experience told me to hand the plane over to you! I look forward to many years of friendship Dave! Take care and Blue Skies!

I’ve dreamed of flying like a bird all of my life, and Dave made that dream come true! The views from above were so beautiful, I didn’t want to land. An exceptionally skilled and confident pilot, Dave makes you feel safe and comfortable, he engages you wherever you are in your level of adventure. Don’t just think how great this would be, FEEL it, and schedule a flight now. You’ll be so glad you did… for me, it was the best experience of my life. Thank You Dave & Miss Lou (loved the photos & video)!!!

What an AMAZING DAY with Dave flying over the low country in Savannah GA!!! I have always wanted to do this and now I can check it off my bucket list. If you think the Savannah waterways are pretty from land just wait until you see them from the air!! Stunning!!! Dave was so professional and thorough! I was not once nervous as he explained everything he was going to do in detail. He was so friendly and fun and just added to the breathtaking experience! Very affordable and the best money I have ever spent! I’m doing it again the next time he comes through Sav! Treat yourself and take a glide ride with Dave!!! You won’t be sorry!! 🥂

Lord, where to begin? Amphibian Air is an opportunity to finally experience that daydream 7 year old us had. Floating it the clouds daydreaming what it must be like. Well, here it it! He has a passion that is rare. I can't begin to describe the soul that he puts into the time in the air with you. Listen to him closely and you'll notice he literally telling you everything that would otherwise startle you now leaving no negative effect allowing full enjoyment lit nothing else. If he looks into the sky and tells you "not today, its not good flying out there", smile because it's worth the wait for the weather to be "Epic". Speaking of Epic, I now have a completely new and improved understand of the word! Just do it! Get yourself a ticket, buy the T-shirt and take the ride. You will never regret it! Fly with your guardian angel for once. I know I did and it was truly completely and totally EPIC!
Thanks D! We will be back very soon!

What a great review. Thank you Matt. It is the toughest part of my "job" making that go/no-go decision and I'm sure many are disappointed when we have to reschedule but safety comes first, then I try to be sure the flight is going to be "EPIC", and finally, hope I leave people with a new appreciation of this type of flying and the beauty of our Earth. Hope to fly with you again...Blue Skies!

When I saw Dave’s amphibious aircraft on the beach, my first thought was of the Wright Brothers. My second was of my father, a pilot who loved flying, even back in the days of open cockpits. My third was that I wanted to try this and experience just a little of what he loved. And I did!
The flight was amazing! It was so fascinating and fun to be in an open aircraft, feeling the wind, looking down at where I live, and seeing it so differently!
Thank you so much, Dave, for this wonderful experience of a lifetime!

I booked an evening flight with Dave which was nothing short of spectacular! The scenery around Skidaway Island is just gorgeous and there's no better way to see it then from above flying low and slow. One minute your in the parking lot and the next minute your taxing down the boat ramp into the water. Very unique aircraft. The aircraft is very smooth on the water and even smoother in the air. Very comfortable seating with plenty of leg room. Dave is an excellent pilot and right off I could tell he truly enjoys not only flying but instructing as well. Looking forward to my next flight with Amphibian Air!

I’m traveling to the area this summer on break from uni. I noticed that you said it was priced per hour. If I would like to participate, but did not want to go a full hour is that possible? If so, how would that be priced :) — Thank you!!

We're both actually happier that we took turns with Dave. The flight is so amazing you don't want anything distracting from Dave, Mello and the moment you never look at life the same again. Plus now we can't stop comparing flights with each other! LOL

Hallo
Ich würde gerne wissen wie viel das kostet und wie lange es geht
Written January 4, 2019
Thank you for the question. I'm sorry I didn't receive notification of your question until just now. I realize if you were visiting Savannah my answer may be too late however here's the short answer... Our One Hour Introductory Flight is $299.00 per person and takes approximately 90 minutes with paperwork and safety briefing. A couple can split the flight hour, I can only fly one person at a time. Thank you again for the inquiry.

Hi Max, thank you for the inquiry. The costs is $299 per hour/per person,(we give discounts for cash, military and students.), we only fly one person at a time, our weight limit is 250 lbs. and we do have availability this weekend. It is best to call as soon as you know you'd like to fly as we are very weather dependent and fly people on a first call/first served basis. My number is 912-572-8055, call if you have more questions, thanks again...Dave
