Amazing flight, I really enjoyed it - Peaceful" 5 of 5 stars…read more My flight was delightful, I chose an early morning flight to avoid the heat of the day and the temp up in the air was perfect! Dane, the pilot, had good communication in preparation for the flight, has a very calm demeanor, explains everything well and gives insightful information during the flight. I bravely took the controls for a little bit! It is a very peaceful experience to see GODS creation from above with no obstructions. I even got to see a few Dolphins and a stingray from up in the sky. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I am certainly glad I did it . To compensate for the fact that I know I get sea sick on boats and have felt a bit queasy on helicopter flights, I took a Dramamine 45 minutes before , followed by the very rare consumption of a cafe latte to counter act the drowsiness that could happen with a Dramamine. Whether it was the the excellence of the flight or the working of my pro active measures, I did not have one second of queasiness, nor did I have one second of fearfulness or was I uncomfortable. Take off and landing was AMAZINGLY smooth. It was so very peaceful. Thank you Dane.

Florida Biplane Rides 4-23-24 We decided to get my father a…read moreBiplane ride for his 92nd Birthday. Back in the day he was a pilot and flew small planes. He often talks about how he would love to take just one more ride in the Red Biplane that flies over our house at times. My wife found the information about this Biplane on Google and called the number. She explained how old he was and how long we wanted his ride to be. We did not know if he could even get in the plane. The owner invited us to stop by and look at it to see if he could manage to get in and out. We met up at the plane's hangar to survey the plane to make sure things would work out. We scheduled an appointment for his flight right there. We met up at Page Field on the day of his ride. My dad was totally surprised that he was going on the Red Biplane that he always watched fly over our home. The pilot Sam was very friendly and helpful with getting my dad into the plane and putting on his headphones so he could talk to him during the flight. We waved goodbye and watched them take off as we took lots of pictures. About 45 minutes later we saw them land. We helped Sam to ease my dad out of the plane. You could not wipe the smile off his face. Sam flew him over the Ft Myers Beach area. This is something my dad will never forget, and he talks about it every day. I am so glad we decided on Florida Biplane Rides for my dad as the pilot Sam and everyone involved was terrific. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars. If you're looking for a fun flight, choose Florida Biplane Rides, you will not be sorry. Follow me on FB for more info. Gulf Coast Terry

If you're lucky, you'll get to land on runway 18 which offers you an awesome view of the city and is right on the water. The staff inside the main building are very friendly. One lady helped us pick out places to eat for lunch and gave directions on how to get where we needed to go. Always great when people are willing to help in those situations when you are unfamiliar. The bathrooms are also clean! There's also a restaurant located on the airport grounds called The Hangar, which I have yet to dine at, but it gives a great view of the airport where you can watch planes land and take off.

Warning : you should not use this company. I callled and…read morelet them know that I would be arriving in Florida for four days and asked would this be adequate time to complete the five hours of flight training. I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.
