Some of my favorite memories are flying with Zoë, Rob, and Tim out of Healdsburg. I would not have…read moregotten my pilot certificate without them. I started training because I was afraid of heights. It took a lot of work to breakthrough that fear. Zoë, especially, had enormous patience and clear, helpful instruction, both for the technical aspects and the pilot mindset. I became a better person training with her. That first solo is a moment I will never forget, the sense of freedom, responsibility, and trust, that I have what it takes to navigate the air and land. This had enormous rewards both as a pilot and in my work as a director. I have used the mindset I learned to navigate tough moments on set, and life.

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!

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.

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 !!

Six months later, the work is still not done, despite numerous promises that it would be done "next week." The wing was finally delivered, but the flange to attach it to the fuselage needed to be repaired as well. Why that wasn't removed when the wing left is a mystery to me. Still no paperwork for the repairs. Now at seven months. The flange has been replaced, but the paperwork for it is missing, so my wing still can't be put back on my plane. Rivets were missed on the skin and now I have a wrinkle that will oil can. Steve patched a corroded fairing without speaking to me. I would have replaced the entire thing. Now I have to pay to have that work redone. Steve also damaged my exhaust ports. He claims the damage was done by my mechanic, despite the photo of it being loaded on his trailer without any damage. Parts were removed and not replaced, which will cost me more money for my local mechanic to correct. It's a freakin' nightmare. And, we haven't even started on the corrosion to my other wing. Not that I'll let Steve anywhere near it. Update: 03-01-13. A bolt was removed from my landing gear assembly by Steve. Without it, the plane can't be taken off jacks. Still waiting for him to send the bolt. 9 months and counting ... Steve likes to say he is "wearing the white hat." Looks more like dingy brown to me.
