I was asked to photograph a friend's new plane as he flew it in from Pittsburgh. I had a chance to…read moreexperience how well run the organization is. Plus the staff is welcoming, professional and helpful. I watched lots of students practicing take offs and landings for over 3 hours. Melanie, the manager in the office made me feel welcome and she even told me when my friend was arriving using Flightaware software. Then, she walked me to the perfect spot to photograph his landing. Wow!

If you need to go somewhere and you wish to leave exactly when you want and you want to go to the…read moremost convenient airport possible then this is the way to go. Keep in mind small airports are all over the place many people live less than a mile from one and have no idea what it's even there., look it up you'd be surprised. Because they're not flying huge jets, or (even small ones) that need to land very fast and need much longer runways, they can kinda land wherever they (you) want. Now we're not talking about $10 million plus private jets so the price is actually reasonable, you'd be surprised. If you split it among some friends it's even better (obviously). The planes are incredibly well-maintained I rent super reliable, elegantly simple propeller driven and top of the line for their class. As a pilot myself, I rent planes from them and the main reason is how well they are maintained. For those who are nervous, remember your pilot wants to live too. The airport is overseen by a military pilot who is incredibly fastidious, so again the planes are top notch maintained to every screw/rivet and piece of plastic in the interior. Next time you've got a 3-10+ (+/-) drive Consider private flight. It also makes you feel good like you've really achieve something in life. Also because they don't fly high, relatively speaking like large "Wide-body" Jets (737/A310 etc.), you have a beautiful view at all times. TL;DR This is a wonderful way to travel, cost effective as well.

Aircraft scheduling is straightforward and flexible, which makes a huge difference when balancing flying and your daily life. The instructors are experienced, approachable, and easy to learn from. There's no intimidation here, just solid instruction in a relaxed but professional environment. Between the aircraft rentals and training options, they're also connected with a cafe. You can grab a bite to eat and unwind a bit before your next flight!

Not sure where all the 5-star reviews came from, but my experience was far from 5-star, it was…read morehorrible. I should have known there were going to be issues when I had a hard time booking a discovery flight. I wanted the flight on a certain date, so I wanted to book almost 3 months in advance to guarantee the date. First, I went to the location, but no one was there and a young guy who worked in the same building the place is located told me that no one was there yet, even though they were supposed to have been open over an hour earlier. When I asked him what time they usually arrived, he said around 12 or so, he called it more of a "retirement job". I finally did get to speak to someone, and they told me that they didn't book out that far and to call back a few weeks before the date that I wanted. I did get it booked but not for the date I wanted, it was a birthday gift and i didn't want to chance not getting that date, so I planned something else for that day. The date came for the flight, and it got cancelled due to winds, no problem, I'm not a meteorologist, so we rescheduled. The day of the flight they cancelled again. This time they said storms were in the area. The weather was perfect that day! Not a cloud in the sky and no bad weather for hundreds of miles. I CAN read a radar and a weather report. I asked for a refund and got the runaround for over a month. I had to send a demand for payment letter before I got any real response. I finally did get a refund, of course they claimed that the gift certificate was for me (even though it states from me to someone else), and charged me fees. But, at least I got most of my money back and know to stay away from this company! Horrible all the way around.

The staff at Mid Island Air are great. Tori at Islip was kind and patient with me. What info she…read moredidn't know, she found out quickly.

Having always wanted to see what it was like to be up in the air (as a pilot, not a passenger), I…read morewas excited to take my discovery flight. I was thrilled that the instructor let me take the controls and (obviously) guide me to what needed to be done. The winds were gusty so the take off and landing gave a little extra gulp in my stomach, but I had a blast. Went up to about 2500 feet (maybe a bit more) and did a big circle. Had a blast. Flight instruction isn't cheap but I applaud them for the ease of scheduling and getting me up in the air so quickly. Top notch!

I brought a friend's son here a few years ago for a flight lesson birthday present. He had never…read morebeen in an airplane before and for $50 he got a 30-minute intro lesson with a pilot. Since it was his first time ever in a plane, the pilot extended the time out a little and he was up there for close to an hour. He got to control the plane a few times and brought it up many times over the years. If you sign up for more lessons, the $50 goes towards the cost of the remainder of the lessons and you can get your pilot's license. Very cool.
