Needless to say, I made sure to pay the little extra so hubby could experience the aerobatics this plans could do...giant loops and barrel rolls and cutting toilet paper (you'll have you fly to know what I'm talking about on that one). If you've been thinking about it, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try this adventure at least once. You'll be glad you did...hubby is already planning his next ride up into the wild blue yonder in the warbird. We call dibs!

My brother & sister-in-law joined my wife and I at Adventure Flight in Lincoln this past Sunday. We…read morewere there for open cockpit, biplane rides. What a fantastic experience. Years ago there was a period where I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in small, private, single engine airplanes. Except for long-hauls, I always enjoyed them more that commercial jet flights - the experience is more up close and personal. Anyway, nothing compares to my biplane experience at Adventure Flight. What a bunch of fun. Andy is a skilled and personable pilot. I had signed up for aerobatics and although slightly apprehensive, I was committed to "sticking to the plan". The pilot made it easy, comfortable and excitingly memorable. We did multiple, giant loop de loops and barrel rolls along with other maneuver that I can't name. I am not a young man .... but, I can honestly say this was one of the most fun things I have done in my life .... Consequently, I plan to do it again. I highly recommend Adventure Flight. Note, Andy's fleet is not limited to the biplane.

I started my private student pilot ground school here through a friend connection, and that's when…read moreI was introduced to Mary. She is truly a once-in-a-lifetime woman, and I feel so blessed to call her my mentor. She has guided me through every stage of my journey--from ground school, to earning my student pilot certificate, to starting flight training, and even supporting me in side projects like flying as talent for my pageantry. Now, I'm also connected with an incredible group of women in aviation, and continuing to grow through my nonprofit work and documentary film. Everyone here has been amazing. The flight instructors--Hayden, Gage, and James--have all been incredibly supportive. Hayden is always there to support ground school, and the environment here is something special. Students and instructors genuinely help one another, interact, and learn together. Gage is my main flight instructor, and he has taught me so much. He is always encouraging and has a way of breaking things down so they really stick. One thing he told me that I'll never forget is: "Don't let the plane fly you--fly the plane." That lesson has stayed with me and applies far beyond aviation. I'm so grateful for everything Spitfire Flight School has given me. They helped bring back a dream I once thought I had lost, and turned it into something real. I'll always come back to support this community, and I'm honored to be returning in May as a guest speaker. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue my multi-engine rating and continue using aviation as part of my nonprofit work--helping victims and survivors access support and resources. I'm deeply grateful for the role this community has played in my journey.

We walk around the plane and he introduced every important part and function. It's a rehash of my physics back in high school 32 yrs ago. Then, we took off and flew across Folsom Lake. The calm, cool morning is very relaxing up in the air. We were flying 150 mph but I can't feel the rush but instead it was smooth and steady which includes the landing. I like the turns most of all. An hour is more than enough for fun! Thank you Erwin for making this a wonderful experience! Our plane is a Cessna. See the picture attached. Our schedule was postponed initially due to flat tire. Then, this schedule was rescheduled with ease. Erwin is very responsible!

Super fun! I bought…read moremy son a flight for his 14th birthday. He had never even been in a plane before, let alone flew one. Needless to say he was a bit apprehensive about his flight. When we arrived at the Airport we were greeted by our pilot and instructor Jim. He was very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable which made my son feel at ease. After a through lesson and overview of the Cesna 187 it was time for my son take the pilots seat. I was happy to tag along. My son read the pre flight checklist from the POA and off we went. Once the plane was at altitude my son had his chance to fly. He was encouraged to bank left and right and shown how to keep the nose leval. It was very exciting to see my son flying the plane. Sadly after about 20 min it was time to land. Jim landed us safely and beautifully. It was a great experience! I don't know who liked it more me or my son? I encourage anyone who has ever wanted to fly a plane to give it a try. In addition it is a very unique and fun gift to give.Years from now my son won't remember what toys or games I buy him. However, his experience of flying a plane with JetExe will last him a lifetime. Thanks for the memories guys!

They had 3 bartenders, making sure everyone drinks were topped off. LOL The band was playing good music, which had a lot of people on the dance floor, including me and van. The buffet style meal was plentiful and delicious. The line for this meal seemed to flow without hiccups. It seemed Venus was in charge of this department. (she works front desk) Job well done I saw Chris (operations manager) running around and making sure things were in place, like extension cords, to make this event happen.. The silent auctions consist of paintings, trip to Mexico, etc... They also had candles for sale. Not sure up this point how this turned out. Augustine, the owner, greeted everyone, making it such a warm welcoming environment. It was nice to see people involved in aviation and being able to meet them first hand. Can't wait till next party hosted by Augustine !!

Terry the owner, now co-partner with Dave make a great team. On my recent project, Dave achieved an impeccable finish with nary a flaw noticeable anywhere. Terry was able to take my photoshop'd design and lay it out better than I expected with minimal supervision and changes. I would have given all five stars were it not for less than responsive communication during the process and for the questionable amount of additional paint Dave required when it was all said and done. However, they went well beyond the estimate in prep work, didn't charge more than the agreed price and I could not be happier with the result. I would not hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone in the future.
