Having always wanted to see what it was like to be up in the air (as a pilot, not a passenger), I…read morewas excited to take my discovery flight. I was thrilled that the instructor let me take the controls and (obviously) guide me to what needed to be done. The winds were gusty so the take off and landing gave a little extra gulp in my stomach, but I had a blast. Went up to about 2500 feet (maybe a bit more) and did a big circle. Had a blast. Flight instruction isn't cheap but I applaud them for the ease of scheduling and getting me up in the air so quickly. Top notch!

I brought a friend's son here a few years ago for a flight lesson birthday present. He had never…read morebeen in an airplane before and for $50 he got a 30-minute intro lesson with a pilot. Since it was his first time ever in a plane, the pilot extended the time out a little and he was up there for close to an hour. He got to control the plane a few times and brought it up many times over the years. If you sign up for more lessons, the $50 goes towards the cost of the remainder of the lessons and you can get your pilot's license. Very cool.

recently took my first flying lesson with Farmingdale Aviation, and I can honestly say it was one…read moreof the best experiences of my life. As a first-time flyer, I was a mix of nervous and excited -- but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. My instructor, Yasin, was absolutely incredible. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also patient, encouraging, and made me feel confident every step of the way. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt comfortable in the cockpit before we even took off. This experience exceeded every expectation I had. I will 100% be returning for more lessons, and I highly recommend Farmingdale Aviation (and Yasin) to anyone who's ever dreamed of flying -- whether you're serious about becoming a pilot or just want to experience something unforgettable.
