Wow! Such an incredible experience! Would recommend for anyone looking for a romantic excursion or even someone looking for a different view of the city. Christian was an awesome pilot for our journey. My girlfriend and I were first-timers to a helicopter ride and he made our experience smooth from start to finish with his courtesy, enthusiasm, and professionalism. Remember to tip!

Im a pilot!

My sister and I bought my dad a 1 hour flight lesson for his birthday off of groupon. He was so…read moreexcited. He called to book his appointment and then called the day of to make sure that the weather was good for flying. We came down and arrived about a half hour early. We walked in and were quickly greeted. They took us right out to the plane despite being early. Ken was my dads instructor and he was amazing. He let us take all the pictures and videos we wanted. He and my dad inspected the plane and all the equipment for about ten minutes and then they got ready for take off. My mom and I were able to watch the take off and landing from the ground next to the runway. My dad had a total air time of about 50 minutes and he said he was in control of the plane once they were in the air! After the flight, they gave my dad a log book with his logged flight from today. The staff was so incredibly friendly and my dad couldn't be happier. I can't thank the staff enough for making my dads experience amazing and this is truly the best gift I have ever gotten anyone. I can't wait for my dad to come again and I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking to fly!

This place is great! I took my man here for two lessons and now he is on his way to getting his…read morelicense! Of course the fact that he is retired Air Force and was a flight engineer probably attribute to the fever. They are really nice and make you feel comfortable and as an added bonus (at least I thought) for a small fee you can take a passenger along on your lesson!

Bought a flight lesson off of Cloud9Living for my bf's Birthday as a surprise. I had a choice for…read moreUpstate NY (45 mins away from home) or Pittstown location (1 hr and 50 minutes drive). Because of the reviews about the instructors...I went with the further location. Wade Krepps was our pilot and he was absolutely amazing. Off the bat, you can see his passion for flying and was easily sociable. My bf was nervous at first but with Wade's positive feedback and encouragement made the flight an excellent experience. Thank you Wade, you've made this experience a very memorable one. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family! OH! And the owner, Maria...was easily reachable. She gave me her personal number because I was a little worried about the weather last week. Also, we were running 10 minutes late. She was very accommodating about it as well.

Had the privilege of going up with the fine folks at Sky River on Sunday, December 6th 2015…read more Pure professionals all the way. Upon arrival my fiancée and I were greeted by our pilot, Mark, as well as the owner and his wife. Very friendly and made us feel welcome! We didn't waste much time, and I had the privilege of watching pilot Mark do his pre-flight. He was very thorough and I could tell the bird was immaculately maintained. Shortly thereafter we were strapped in and on our way! Having only been my 2nd helicopter flight, I was geeking out the whole time, and Mark was on top of his game. Soon we were circling around the statue of liberty and on our way up the Hudson. Great views of the Freedom Tower and we went north, uptown and over the GWB before starting our return to Pittstown. Landing was flawless, came in with plenty of ground speed before smoothly exiting the active and calling it in. Pro. Pictures and words don't do it justice, this was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! Highly recommend stopping in for a quick flight (or lessons, or a license)!

We're just back from our honeymoon to Hawaii and have a lot to say about Paul Ferdinand and Rainbow…read moreVoyages. If you want someone who knows Hawaii, Paul's your man. There are too many touches Paul added to our trip to list them all; from champagne, flowers and candy awaiting us in our rooms, to alerting us to flight delays and adjusting restaurant reservations and excursion arrangements during our trip. Here are but a few. Paul guided us through every step of planning our trip. He knew where to go and where to avoid. He knew which hotels would suit us; all the restaurants to recommend; all the excursions to choose; and what to watch out for. For example, we wanted to book a helicopter tour of Kauai. Paul knew which tour to take and, more importantly, to request "first class" seats on the helicopter. So, we sat up front with the pilot, while others on the flight sat behind. Sure, they had a good view, but not as good as ours. Also, we wanted to see the sun rise from atop Haleakala on Maui. We thought riding a bike down would be fun. Well, I'm glad Paul was at hand to offer caution. We're newlyweds, but not youngsters. As it turned out, Paul's recommendation to book a van up and back was spot on. After our excursion, it was clear to us that riding bikes down Haleakala could have been a bit much at our age. Good call, Paul. And, Paul was on the job throughout our trip. Without prompting from us, Paul called in advance and confirmed each excursion we had booked. When we wanted to change an excursion, Paul took care of all the legwork. Moreover, he kept tabs on our flights. So, for example, when our flight from Maui to Kauai was delayed, he knew it could affect our restaurant reservation and made the necessary changes. In short, Paul spoiled us. We could not recommend him more enthusiastically.

An easy decision! Paul helped my family with a fantastic all inclusive in the Dominican Republic…read more White glove service from start to finish, very communicative, and was able to guide us to the right resort for the type of vacation and amenities we were looking for. Looking forward to working with Paul again.

Apologies as this has been sitting as a draft review from June 2022. My dad bought us once in a lifetime seats for the Warriors v Celtics finals as a bucket list trip, but we were stuck at JFK all day due to security ground stops in Boston. We flew in the night before, but after 8 hours of flight delays and 2+ hours back and forth on the tarmac, we needed to find a way to Boston in spite of all rental cars and train seats being sold out. We were desperate! I called around and no charter could get us to Boston. We are by no means ballers, but I fly small planes as a hobby, so I called a dozen FBOs and Wings Air was the only answer to our prayers. They managed to get us to a nearby regional airport with only one hour notice, and arranged a car to bring us to TD Arena in time to watch most of the game where we wound up winning. Thank you so much for coming through when no one else could. This is a memory we will cherish forever.
