Fly A Plane In The Twin CitiesTake the Controls of a Cessna 172 & Learn to Fly During an Introductory Flight Lesson Over The Twin Cities 6 Reviews
Price for 1 participant
Learn how to fly a light aircraft as you take over the controls of a Cessna 172. Your Discovery Flight Lesson begins with approximately 20 minutes of ground instruction where your Certified Flight Instructor will teach you how the aircraft flies, the purpose of the various controls, how to read the gauges, and what to look for when conducting the pre-flight inspection. After the completion of your ground instruction, it's time see what it's like to be a pilot during your 30 minute hands on flight lesson! This flight is usually conducted in close proximity to the airport in Crystal, Minnesota, but you will have a chance to see Minneapolis and its’ surrounding areas in the distance. With the ground school and flight combined, by the end of this aerial adventure, you will have a basic understanding of how to fly an airplane all on your own! Whether you are looking to begin a new hobby or simply interested in seeing what it feels like to take over the controls of a plane, this Discovery Flight Lesson will be unforgettable! Plus, the experience counts as valuable flight time towards receiving your Pilot’s License. Every Experience Gift is beautifully presented in our unique Xperience Days Gift Box.

I took my cousin here for his 14th birthday and he had so much fun! Cindy was great at explaining everything and they let me ride along for free. We only had to schedule a few days ahead of time and the Eden Prairie location was great to work with. We had about 30 mins of instructions on the ground - they went through pre-flight checks and explained everything to him, and then we went up and flew for about 20 mins. He got to steer for about half the time and loved it! He's already talking about enrolling in flight school now. :-)

I enjoyed it immensely. This is not the kind of thing that I would normally do. I realize I am not much of a pilot but it was a great experience. Thanks.

The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. My instructor, Cindy, was wonderfully thorough and patient in her explanations. I will be back to Thunderbird Aviation for Ground School in January!

It was a great experience. The entire staff was great and Andy was a WONDERFUL instructor ... so clear and succinct. I would like to have been able to book a little closer to the actual experience date. It had to be scheduled two weeks out.

This was an awsome experience! The pilot was very professional, and I felt safe the entire trip. The clear instructions made it easy to take the controls and fly for the first time!

All service was as expected as well as the experience. Loved the packaging of the gift certificate - it was elegant and exuded 'this is a special gift'. The booking and purchase of the experience was easy.

Question: I am interested in giving this as a Father's Day gift but my husband weighs between 250-260, can you tell me if you still have this restriction?
Answer: Unfortunately, participants of the Fly A Plane In The Twin Cities must weigh less than 200lbs. This is a safety limitation for the aircraft used.
Question: I am wondering if the lessons are available only during the week or if they are also available on weekends?
Answer: The Fly A Plane In The Twin Cities Experience is offered seven days a week, year-round, subject to availability. Flights may be scheduled between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
