The guys at French Valley Flyers were extraordinarily helpful in getting him a new battery early the next morning. He went back up there to fly his plane back to SD but weather was horrendous, zero visibility. He is two weeks away from his IR check ride so he couldn't take off. Next issue was that he goes to school in AZ and had to be back at school before conditions improved. FVF found a CFI to fly the plane back to SD later in the day for him. FVF saved the day and relieved a lot of stress! Can't thank French Valley Flyers enough for all of their help and professionalism! Good guys who run a great shop with a nice fleet. Highly recommend checking them out!

From the moment they took off and landed (about 40-45 mins. per flight), I was told that there's never a dull moment. You don't have to look far if you're looking for something different over Temecula other than the usual wine tours. Discovery paramotor flight is highly recommended.

It's one thing to see photos, but experiencing it from the sky is on another level. If you're looking for something unique to do, celebrating a special occasion, or just want to experience the beauty of flying, I highly recommend Cruise Air.

CruiseAir was incredibly accommodating, making sure I could depart from Ontario so I wouldn't miss the stunning sunrise in Havasu. Steven was my Pilot on the way there and truly went above and beyond -- he flew over the Balloon Festival before landing, giving me the most incredible aerial view of the balloons. It doesn't get any better than that. On the return flight to California, my Pilot Nate made the experience just as special by timing the trip perfectly so I could catch a breathtaking sunset. It was a dream come true. The ride was smooth, the Pilots were professional, friendly, and wonderful company. I will absolutely be using CruiseAir again in the near future. Highly recommend!

I purchased a discovery flight for my husband's birthday he's deeply passionate about aviation & it turned out to be one of the best gifts I've ever given. Daman was courteous, professional & clearly very experienced, which immediately put us at ease. What made it even more special was the surprise that I got to ride along too which was an unexpected bonus that made the experience unforgettable for both of us. He taught my husband so much, walked him through the fundamentals & even let him fly the plane himself. We did adrenaline-pumping maneuvers like touch-and-go landings and a stunning pirouette-style move that felt like a ballet in the sky. It was thrilling, smooth & absolutely magical. This experience was worth every single dollar & then some. If you're considering a discovery flight, especially as a gift Papa Cheetah Aviation delivers far more than expected. We're still talking about it & will never forget it! My husband is looking forward to continuing training.

The flight there was beautiful, the flight back was beautiful as well but a lot more fun. Our Pilot, Dave, was a fantastic host. It is clear from the second you meet him that he has been doing this for a long time and loves what he does. He was very courteous and friendly. He pointed out various landmarks as we flew and looked like he was having as much fun as we were. Trust me on this, if you take the flight out to the Julian Pie Company let Dave have some fun flying through the canyons on the way back. Trust me :) If you have been thinking about taking a helicopter ride, stop thinking and do it, you won't regret it. Thanks again Dave!!! I'll definitely be back.

Let me start again , On Saturday 12/13/14 my boyfriend was supposed to pick me up for a fun day in Rancho Cucamonga, well supposibly the plans were changed and we ended up going to Carlsbad which the whole ride there I did not ask questions because I thought we were going to pick up some car parts for his new toy. He had dropped some hints about it the night before. When we arrived at the airport he started getting very suspicious making wierd phone calls. Well I was to busy fixing my makeup in the mirror to notice that what I thought was a parking storage was actually an airport. We get off and start walking in, I was so confused. The pilot was very friendly and introduced himself and made sure to stay quiet about my surprise ahead. My boyfriend said, well I decided to be adventurous and do something we have never done before and take a plane ride. The take off was surprisingly very smooth. We flew over Carlsbad beach at sunset for about half an hour, JP knew I was extremely nervous to fly over the water because I can't swim. He made sure to stay close to shore, basically long story short I looked down onto the beach and there was a pink sign saying marry me? I didn't think it was for me so instead I decided to read the sign that was right next to it out loud which said Merry Christmas. I turned around and my boyfriend was telling me how much he loved me, I started recording his sweet words, all to find out he was actually proposing!!!! It was the best day of my entire life !!!! The landing was great, well I had so many butterfly's that I truly didn't feel it. He helped take pictures of us and was a very sweet person. Thank you JP for helping for this to all happen. It was magical !!!

The ride was incredibly smooth (didn't even notice us taking off or landing), so for those who are a little scared, you'll find no better pilot than him.
