    I booked the South Beach Tour on 5/27 early afternoon…read more The lady who took my order in April seemed like she had a lot of problems at that time. The prices on the web are FALSE. (Until they update the website) It is more expensive when you book and don't ask about online coupons because it is outdated and you are really paying more than what is indicated. But then she was very personable and confirmed everything to my confidence. She answered all my questions patiently and thoroughly. For an extra price she hooked me up with a ride there from my hotel and back. No it is not limo. I must say the pilots are very.... accommodating. And good looking. Ladies be careful if you are single they might try to steal a kiss. Their European accent will steal your heart. Extra star! It was HOT that afternoon. The planes are not air conditioned I think there is a valve where it blew air but that was it. Throughout the entire tour we were dripping drops in buckets of sweat. We didn't talk much being we had to communicate through the headphones and the mic picked up every other sound other than our voices and if the windows were down then there was a lot of air interference. For the price it is not a luxury tour, but it did allow me to see parts of Miami in a whole different perspective. Oh it was beautiful, and I know that if I did not get so sick in the middle of the tour, they would have no problem with flying over where ever I wanted. I would have given 5 stars but I felt oh so icky and sweaty and the planes are older so it had that older material smell and I am a girl trying to be cute in Miami on the holiday so you see the reason for the lower star rating. This is a flight school also fyi. The pilots all have a wonderful cheesy sense of humor and we would be all day talking if we had nothing else planned. TIPS: If you want to fly with someone, the flight will be easier if you are light. If you are heavy you may just want to fly with someone light or by yourself. No luxury stuff here. Just down and dirty flying yes you will see everything you want to see for the time you are up there, but if it is hot hold your questions so we can leave the window down and feel the air blow the sweat off. Overall my experience is not bad. I think I was used to a luxury air conditioned leather seat flight before so it kind of had a bad influence on this review. I don't mind recommending this place just make sure you understand the flight does not have anemities. If you are a pretty girl, maybe the guys will make up for it, but if you are a guy, just expect a nice view ask them to fly over the nude beach one time!

    Just went on a tour of Miami and it was awesome!! I was a little apprehensive of the propeller…read moreplane at first, but got over it when I saw how calm our pilot, Arnaud, was during the turbulence. I highly recommend this as an unusual date. Also, I forgot to bring cash to tip our pilot. I don't know what the protocol is for that, but I'm pretty sure it's the norm. I feel terrible! Hopefully this review will make up for it a little...

    My husband surprised me with a Discovery Flight experience and It was an Incredible! I was…read moreexpecting to first have a classroom lesson but nope, instructor Maria Fernanda introduced herself and we boarded the Cessna 172. She explained the controls to me and told me what we were going to do that day and we were off! I must admit I was pretty nervous having two lives as my responsibility but the flight was amazing. We flew over South Beach and back to the airport, it was a short 45 minute experience and so worth it! Now I want to learn more but have yet to receive the email the staff said they would send me with the class information. Much recommended for anyone who is curious about flying and want to try a bit of adrenaline!

    I interviewed the Owner Kareem (New Owner!) He says the old owner died of cancer and took over the…read moreschool. The guy was super nice when I called on a Sunday at 3pm he said sure come over! He was super friendly and smiled alot, showed me his planes that were available for viewing (most were out flying). School is small and is a part #61. If this is what you are looking for I would recommend this school. They also offer an accelerated program at a discount if you pay in advance. Oh, Kareem has a heavy accent, but its not too hard to understand. Best of luck!
