Once in a lifetime experience
The flying lesson was amazing, and thrill of a lifetime. To make things even better, the airport allowed my fiance and her daughter to fly with me and video tape the whole thing. It is something I checked off the bucket list but might be something i do again as it was so much fun. They really do let you fly, including taking off and landing if conditions are good.

Flying Lesson
Flight lesson was on a beautiful Saturday morning. Arrived a little early and staff was very professional and friendly. The instructor (Kevin) was very personable and full of information. From the pre-flight checklist to the return landing at Manassas, one of the best adventures I've taken. Anyone interested in flying should schedule with them.

My Flight Lesson
I had a wonderful time during my flight lesson on October 22nd. The instructor was friendly and informative and really conveyed his joy of flying. Thank you very much for the positive and memorable experience!

Discovery Flying Lesson
The flight was exhilarating! The instructor was very knowledgeable and friendly and made me feel comfortable in the small plane. I would definitely do it again. I highly recommend the experience for anyone interested in flying.

Excellent Experience
I flew with Buck at Aviation Adventures in Leesburg. Buck was a great instructor, very laid back and calm. It was a beautiful day, only slightly windy. I would recommend this to anyone who has thought about taking lessons or who has ever just wanted to try it.

Aviation Adventures
Doesn't get much more 'hands on' than this experience. The instructor was great and let me do as much (or as little) as I was comfortable doing, including taking off and landing the plane with his assistance, of course. Would highly recommend to anyone with an interest in flying!

Discovery Flight

- Alex Pachedzhiev - Manassas, VA, Monday, September 19, 2011
Great fun.
It was a blast. To steer a plane. I was allowed to take off, land and everything. Instructor was constantly correcting my mistakes obviously (if not there would be a big hole with wings sticking out of it... near airfield) but still it was a great experience.

Discovery Flying Lesson Review
The flight was great. The instructor, Nouman, let me take control of the plane. He worked the radio, transponder, and rudder pedals. He would give me the direction to go and I would control the plane. We even landed twice. It was a great experience. Would love to do it again.

Greatest Experience Ever!!
This was a birthday present from my girlfriend, and it was by far the best present ever! I was a little nervous, but have always wanted to fly. The folks at aviation adventures are great! They walk you through everything, and no joke, you fly the plane from taxiing, to taking off, to landing. They are super friendly, good-humored, and informative. Loved every second of it!!
- David W - Leesburg, VA, Friday, December 10, 2010
Flying Lesson
If anyone has ever thought about wanting to fly a plane, then I would definitely recommend this experience. The crew at the Leesburg location are great and they actually let you FLY THE PLANE including take-off and part of the landing. I am now hooked and I plan to go back again soon.
- Adam - Leesburg, VA, Wednesday, October 27, 2010
Virginia Flying Lesson
It was superb. Everyone at Aviation Adventures was friendly and fun. I flew with Matt and we had a blast. I got to have the controls from take off to landing. I even got to land in a field and experience the sensation of zero-gravity! Definitely a must-do experience!
- Chloe - Manassas, Sunday, June 20, 2010
Flying Lesson Manassas
This was a birthday present from my daughters. The folks at Aviation Adventures were friendly and professional. My instructor was very good and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as I had the controls from taxiing on the ground through takeoff, flying then landing. Of course with assistance from the instructor as needed. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in seeing what it's like to fly a plane.
- Peter G. - Warrenton, VA, Saturday, April 17, 2010
Adventure Flight in Manassas
This was the most amazing thing I have ever done. The instructor was really informative and I had a blast! I was really nervous when he told me I would be flying and he would just be there to tell me what to do. But after I was in the air for a few minutes it was a lot easier then I had imagined. I would recommend this to anyone! Great time!
- Cindy Estep - Warrenton, VA, Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Flying Lesson Virginia
It was great, but not for me. I really enjoyed the experience, the flight instructor was great, ex military pilot, and I was able to learn a lot from my showed me that flying is a lot easier then I had always thought it was. On that note I did almost loose my lunch up there with some of the sharper turns. I have also conditioned my self to fall asleep the second I get into a plane, so about half way through the flight I started to have to fight that. All in all I thought it was a great time, but would most likely not do it again.
- Noah Rosenberg - Manassas, Wednesday, December 09, 2009
Flying Lesson
Absolutely wonderful. Got to do most of the flying, including takeoff and landing, which definitely made it a confidence builder. The instructor was supportive and personable, making it a great experience.
- John - Leesburg, Tuesday, November 24, 2009
Flying Lesson Virginia
This was my birthday gift from my wife. Thanks, Sweeties! I was fortunate to have a beautiful, warm November Sunday morning for my flight. The staff at Aviation Adventures was very friendly and professional. The flight was terrifying at first, but I eventually loosened up and really enjoyed myself. Chris, the instructor, was a great instructor and answered all my questions and never made me nervous. If you decide to do it, just realize that he'll take over if things go amiss. So, on that note, have a blast! What a great gift.
- Neil - Leesburg, Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Flying Lesson
An amazing experience. The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable and really make the difference. I would recommend this to anyone that has ever thought about flying.
- Rami Essaid - Manassas, Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Flying Lesson in Manassas
My flight was booked at Manassas, and it was a genuine flight school lesson #1. I sat on the left side, and did some of the flying. The people at Aviation Adventures are a really nice crowd, very friendly, helpful and informative.
- Pete - Northern Virginia, Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Flying Lesson
When I showed up at the Leesburg Executive Airport for my flying lesson, I found out that XperienceDays had booked my lesson at the Manassas airport instead. I showed the people at Aviation Adventures my confirmation (which said Leesburg), and they hooked me up. Kudos to Raymond and everyone else there. The experience itself was amazing. I've never flown a plane myself before, and it was a little scary at first, but it was tons of fun as well. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Now I've just got to save the money to go again! I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see what it's like to fly.
