    So pleased with the 1st time flying tour experience! Thank you Capt. Rick! Answered all our questions gracefully

    This experience was awesome! My girlfriend surprised me with this dope experience. Abel, our pilot was super dope and informative as well with also a good sense of humor! 5/5 would definitely come back!

    I am having trouble finding a similar aerial tour and flight instruction combination in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Spent about 15 minutes talking about the parts that control an airplane's aerodynamics, pitch, roll, and yaw. Another 15 minutes was on a flight simulator. The building wasn't easy to find at first. The instructor went out of his way to try to get us close to the San Francisco skyline. After telling the flight instructor that my boyfriend already had simulation experience we got more time in the air. Ground training is included. He found time to let us practice maneuvers and takeoff into Oakland airspace after getting approval. I liked being able to sit in the back and take photographs while we were maneuvering in the air. Other places only let you sit in the co-pilot's side. The lesson was an introductory flight. There was no food because it wasn't an event. We bought a flight log afterwards because it was about $1 cheaper than online. We redeemed a Groupon. You don't really get to be close to Alcatraz or the Golden Gate bridge in 45 minutes like the Yelp photos imply.

    My boyfriend surprised me for my birthday and booked a flight tour. My boyfriend was really nervous getting on (I'm the adventurous one LOL) Abel made us feel comfortable and it was very fun experience! I recommend booking your tour with Abel! I highly recommend him! It was such a wonderful birthday surprise experience!

    I bought the 1 Hour Bay Tour on groupon. I surprised my boyfriend with this gift because he has always lived in San Francisco but he's never seen it from above. You are on a small plane that seats 4 people total, including the pilot. My boyfriend sat in the front with the pilot and was able to play with some of the controls. He was like a little kid again, I saw him light up as we took off. He had this huge smile on his face and I knew he was having a good time. The experience was amazing, I took a lot of pictures. It was a clear sunny day so we were able to see SF finest attractions such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Treasure Island, and downtown SF. This was worth it and it's still available for purchase on groupon! If you've ever wanted to see SF from above, I recommend buying this!

    Rick was the best! So calm and cool - exactly what you need in a flight instructor. Ask for him! Used a Groupon for my dad's Bday gift. Total of 3 customers plus instructor allowed per flight (subject to weight limit). Dad LOVED it and easily taxied, took off, and landed the plane himself without any prior experience or ground training. It's true - I witnessed it from the passenger seat! Piloting the plane isn't REQUIRED, but highly recommended! The plane wasn't the newest model and showed it's age, but Rick took his time thoroughly completing the pre- and post-flight checks. We felt entirely comfortable & safe. More air time for the $ would have been appreciated. We were up a total of 20-25 min. I was hoping for 40 even with the Groupon price. However, my Dad was so concentrated, he was relieved to touchdown and assumed he had flown for an HOUR. =] We look forward to their Bay Tour for a beautiful special occasion someday in the future.

    Fantastic feeling!!!

They have an instructor assigned to you from the beginning. I liked my instructor. Except when he makes me dip the plane to the left when he knows that's what I'm scared to do :). Dipping right was never a problem for me. He was very good and patient that on my third week I could land the plane on my own. Reasonable private lessons. Their planes are clean and never a wait to start a lesson. Loved every minute of my time at this school.

Since I was late i got put into the flight simulator asap and before i knew it i was in the damn plane lol. Overall, I had a great experience. You get a lil nervous when you taxi the plane on the runway. More jitters when it starts to go faster and then bloop uve taken off and are suddenly airborne. It was totally cool and Jonathan my instructor (at least I hope its Jonathan) let me do most o the flying but always made sure we were safe. If you are worried you can always let the instructor take control (and sometimes he will) but theres no fun in that. The intro to flying lesson I got was from Amazon local deals. Like i said it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend you try flying vikings if ur in the area as its not too far and the instructors are definitely knowledgeable and friendly.

    If you want to learn to fly safely and professionally, this is the place…read more Professional Flight Crew is, hands down, the best flight school in the Bay Area. Here's why: 1. Safety - when you get into a small gasoline-powered machine at 3,500 feet, you're putting your faith, and your life, in the hands of your flight instructor. PFC is obsessed with teaching the right skills and techniques to be a safe pilot, on good days, and in the event everything goes wrong. Their instructors emphasize safe operation, contingency planning, and situational awareness from Day 1. 2. Teaching skills - PFC employs the best flight instructors in the Bay Area. They have thousands of hours of experience, and they have taught hundreds of students to fly. Whether you're a natural ace, or have a fear of flying, they will teach you the skills and techniques you need to be a first-class pilot. 3. The instructors - PFC flight instructors have to be some of the nicest, most patient people on the planet. I have a good time every time I fly with them, and although I've made many mistakes, they are consistently upbeat, positive and encouraging. They won't tell you you've done a good job when you haven't (and you don't want an instructor who does!) but they will support you from your first lesson all the way to your Private Pilot License and beyond. 4. Equipment - PFC has some of the nicest planes and simulators available in Northern California. They have low wing and high wing aircraft, traditional and glass cockpits, simple and complex aircraft, and multiple simulators. Whatever you want to learn, PFC has the equipment to teach you, and it is all immaculately serviced and maintained. 5. Affordability - PFC has some of the most reasonable prices for both instruction and plane rentals in the Bay Area. Learning to fly is expensive, but PFC makes it a lot more affordable than most schools. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. If you've been thinking about learning to fly, this is the place to do it!
