    This place absolutely rocks - definitely come here for the flight lessons!…read more I came here for an introductory helicopter flight lesson on a whim and was extremely impressed from beginning to end. The quality and detail involved in the instruction here is superb - you feel like you're being given all of the information you need, from the basics to more complex properties of the helicopters. There was no point where I felt like the information was overwhelming or over-simplified: it seemed like the right mix of education and beginner's instruction. As for the flight, it's a blast! While I was far from talented at piloting the helicopter, I was given quite a lot of control over time, and I felt increasingly comfortable as time went on. I felt safe and monitored the entire time - even when a lot of wind blew the helicopter around, the instructor was available to make things right quickly and effortlessly. Needless to say, if you have the time and the money, give this place a shot!

    My boyfriend surprised me with a helicopter tour for my birthday. This was our first helicopter…read moreride and we had an amazing experience. We had Seth as our pilot, and he was great. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He pointed out various landmarks and places that we would be interested in seeing. He took the time to explain everything and throughly check the vehicle, it made us feel very safe and comfortable. Seth answered all questions, and even cracked a few jokes. I would definitely recommend them for celebrating a special occasion or just a romantic date. Make sure to ask for Seth by name you won't be disappointed!

    I received a gift certificate from a family member for a Discovery Flight given my mention of…read morepotentially being a pilot someday. I called and quickly was able to schedule something with an instructor the following week. They provided a calendar invite and my instructor, Devon text me as a reminder of our appointment. No issues finding the facility with the provided address and I was greeted promptly with the waiver documents and request for copy of an ID. I sat down with Devon who explained the agenda and inquired about my reasoning for wanting to do a Discovery Flight. We went out to the airfield to conduct pre-flight checks of the plane and what to look for during the process and why. After waiting on the fuel truck for a few minutes, we got underway and spent the next hour in the air flying around. It reminded me of my first time driving a car and that overwhelming feeling of trying to safely operate a vehicle and over time developed a rhythm of comfort to be able to do other things while driving. Flying seems to be no different with all the gauges to manage direction, altitude, fuel, etc. There is an added level of complexity managing the map (our location) which was on an iPad during my trip to understand no fly areas, change of radio frequencies/airspace, etc. Devon let me steer while on the ground as well as in the air, adjust speed, altitude, etc with his oversight. I put on a lightweight jacket prior to departure but found myself getting warm in the air with the sun beating on us. Airflow and space in the cockpit to move around are limited so it's best to be situated prior to getting in. Despite having the gift certificate that was purchased about 9 months ago, they charged me a $10 surcharge as a result of fuel cost increases. I didn't argue against it in the moment. It was an insightful learning experience that I would recommend to anyone thinking about flying or wanting a unique experience. I would enjoy the opportunity to become licensed but that also requires a time and funding commitment that has to be aligned with priorities.

    Great place to learn to fly! The P2J team built a phenomenal training institution on a solid…read morefoundation of safety, experience, and a passion for aviation. Their fleet of low-wing aircraft are fun to fly, well-maintained, and ready for action. If you are looking for a place to get trained on how to be a safe and professional pilot, look no further.
