    Took a helicopter tour of Philadelphia. The pilot (Christian) was friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome experience. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for a Part 61 flight school that values flexibility, quality instruction, and a…read moresupportive environment, this is it. Great staff all around. Aircraft scheduling is straightforward and flexible, which makes a huge difference when balancing flying and your daily life. The instructors are experienced, approachable, and easy to learn from. There's no intimidation here, just solid instruction in a relaxed but professional environment. Between the aircraft rentals and training options, they're also connected with a cafe. You can grab a bite to eat and unwind a bit before your next flight!

    Not sure where all the 5-star reviews came from, but my experience was far from 5-star, it was…read morehorrible. I should have known there were going to be issues when I had a hard time booking a discovery flight. I wanted the flight on a certain date, so I wanted to book almost 3 months in advance to guarantee the date. First, I went to the location, but no one was there and a young guy who worked in the same building the place is located told me that no one was there yet, even though they were supposed to have been open over an hour earlier. When I asked him what time they usually arrived, he said around 12 or so, he called it more of a "retirement job". I finally did get to speak to someone, and they told me that they didn't book out that far and to call back a few weeks before the date that I wanted. I did get it booked but not for the date I wanted, it was a birthday gift and i didn't want to chance not getting that date, so I planned something else for that day. The date came for the flight, and it got cancelled due to winds, no problem, I'm not a meteorologist, so we rescheduled. The day of the flight they cancelled again. This time they said storms were in the area. The weather was perfect that day! Not a cloud in the sky and no bad weather for hundreds of miles. I CAN read a radar and a weather report. I asked for a refund and got the runaround for over a month. I had to send a demand for payment letter before I got any real response. I finally did get a refund, of course they claimed that the gift certificate was for me (even though it states from me to someone else), and charged me fees. But, at least I got most of my money back and know to stay away from this company! Horrible all the way around.

Plus the staff is welcoming, professional and helpful. I watched lots of students practicing take offs and landings for over 3 hours. Melanie, the manager in the office made me feel welcome and she even told me when my friend was arriving using Flightaware software. Then, she walked me to the perfect spot to photograph his landing. Wow!

    If you need to go somewhere and you wish to leave exactly when you want and you want to go to the…read moremost convenient airport possible then this is the way to go. Keep in mind small airports are all over the place many people live less than a mile from one and have no idea what it's even there., look it up you'd be surprised. Because they're not flying huge jets, or (even small ones) that need to land very fast and need much longer runways, they can kinda land wherever they (you) want. Now we're not talking about $10 million plus private jets so the price is actually reasonable, you'd be surprised. If you split it among some friends it's even better (obviously). The planes are incredibly well-maintained I rent super reliable, elegantly simple propeller driven and top of the line for their class. As a pilot myself, I rent planes from them and the main reason is how well they are maintained. For those who are nervous, remember your pilot wants to live too. The airport is overseen by a military pilot who is incredibly fastidious, so again the planes are top notch maintained to every screw/rivet and piece of plastic in the interior. Next time you've got a 3-10+ (+/-) drive Consider private flight. It also makes you feel good like you've really achieve something in life. Also because they don't fly high, relatively speaking like large "Wide-body" Jets (737/A310 etc.), you have a beautiful view at all times. TL;DR This is a wonderful way to travel, cost effective as well.

They are on schedule and on time, and are very clean. Before we went in the air the aircraft was disinfected. Masks are required on flight, but it isn't that hot on board. This is a great trip and experience, and I you highly recommend

    Availability seems pretty weather-dependent, so phone ahead and have a backup plan for your day,…read morebut our experience was super fun. You ride in small Cessna propeller plane, which can comfortably seat two, and can squeeze a third if you must (two adults and a kid seems reasonable, and there's a coupon on the website to get your third passenger free, so this might be good for families). We did the Delaware Water Gap tour, which is around a half hour. We went in fall, and the scenery was gorgeous, with rivers and mountains covered in colorful autumn trees. You star fairly low so you can still see a lot of what's going on below. The wind tends to be a bit choppy up in the mountains, so this might not be great for those faint of heart or weak of stomach, but it also adds to the thrill. Toward the end of the flight our pilot let my girlfriend take control and fly the plane. This was a big thrill for her, and he actually let her do quite a bit in terms of guiding the plane and bring it in for a landing (but of course he took control back for the landing itself). If anyone is interested in a little mini-flight lesson, make sure they take the front seat. Overally great experience. Might seem a little pricey for a relatively short activity ($50 for 30 minutes, although I think it was a little longer), but it was totally worth it.

A very pleasant experience as their planes seem to be very well kept and my instructor was a very pleasant and experienced young man.

Recently (2013) for a Christmas present I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for my father who has his private pilot but hasn't flown in many years. When I called I spoke to the owner Priscilla who was very helpful in answering questions about what airplane would "fit" my father the best, as he's gained a few pounds since his flying days! We agreed on the plane and I moved forward with the purchase. I was pleased to hear that the gift certificate was able to be emailed to me, which saved me the trip out to the airport a few days before Christmas. Here's the best part about my experience... Priscilla called me back and told me that there was no need for me to use my credit card. Apparently I had left some money on my account from when I was a student there and she would just use that credit. Remember...I haven't flown there in 13 years! Talk about a reputable business owner! Her response was, no need to use your credit card...Merry Christmas. I don't think you can ask for anything more in a small business owner than someone who is honest and upstanding, and that has been my experience with Eagles View. I'm not one to post reviews much, but this experience left me feeling like I should do my part to let others know of my experience.
