I thought it was a wonderful and unique experience to learn from a pilot the procedures and preparation that is required before each flight. I would have liked to be actual up in the air for a longer period of time.

I am now seriously considering going for my pilots license thanks to this experience.

My wonderful wife knowing my love for aviation bought me flying lessons as a valentines day gift and I can't wait to take to the sky's. Is it wrong that after I take my first flight that I tell people to refer to me as captain Everett?

The most amazing birthday gift I got my entire life. It was a absolute thrill piloting a plane over the south shore of Long Island. I will for sure return for another flight. It was a perfect and clear day with a view for miles!!!! Next time I will do the extra time because it way too much fun for just a half hour!!!

Good instructor.

Raymond Meaney was a great flight instructor, and I had one of the best experiences ever. It made me want to save money and take more lessons to acquire a private license.

Staff were very friendly and made me feel at ease, they asked my wife if she wanted to join me, despite the conditions stating that was not possible so she came up with us and that made the whole experience even better. 10/10

The flight lesson was okay. Not really what I expected as we only took off and flew about 1100 feet in the air.
- Adalberto Diaz - Republic Airport, Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Absolutely unbelievable. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
- John - Farmingdale, Tuesday, July 12, 2011
The flight that I've got as a present for my birthday was amazing. I was controlling the plae most of the time. The pilot was a very nice Russian guy who shown me some tricks and made that experience fun. The time of the fligh was half an hour. Much longer than any helicopter tour. Over all it was a very cool present for birthday!

Great Time!
- Albert - Republic Airport, Tuesday, May 24, 2011
It was an awesome experience. It was a birthday gift and it was a life time memorable experience. I loved it. I was bit nervous but my instructor Paul was really great. It's really fun and exciting.
- Touhid Ali - Long Island, Wednesday, April 13, 2011
It was an amazing experience, I have even consider taking flying lessons.
- Robert Medina - Long Island, Thursday, March 31, 2011
It was a fantastic experience! My instructor Paul treated me like a student pilot, not a passenger. I had the controls for everything but landings and takeoffs, which was fine with me. I would love to return and take lessons someday.
- Bob Gurske - Farmingdale, NY, Thursday, March 17, 2011
My son and I took an one hour introductory flight lesson. It was a wonderful experience. The instructor was very competent and friendly. The sites from over the south shore were extraordinary. I highly recommend this experience gift.
- John Delaney - Long Island, Friday, November 26, 2010
Fantastic experience. Flight instructor was superb and the entire experience was exhilarating and rewarding. The only negative was that we paid for additional time but it was not made clear how short that would be.
- Jeffrey Katz - NYC, Tuesday, October 26, 2010
I received this as a gift for my 40th birthday- it was the most memorable gift I have received. The instructor was informative, thorough, and put me completely at ease. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a sincerely special adventure that they will never forget.
- Cara-Mier apone - Glen Cove, NY, Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Great experience! Good for anyone who enjoys aviation, has ever had an interest in pursuing their own pilot's license, or ever wonder what it would be like to actually fly a plane.
- Tom - Long Beach, Saturday, September 18, 2010
Best B'Day gift ever!!! There aren't enough words to describe the experience. My instructor Robert Lutz was really awesome and made the experience lot more enjoyable. He let me control the plane for the most part including take-off. It's a must have experience...!!!
- Karan Parikh - Long Island, Tuesday, July 27, 2010
Absolutely fantastic. Flight instructor Billy was superb. I never expected to have been doing the flying at the controls that I did. Makes you want to go on for your license. Thanks
- Barry Ruderman - Long Island, Wednesday, May 05, 2010
Best birthday gift I have received. That says something since I am 70 years old.
- Barry Ruderman - Republic airport, Wednesday, May 05, 2010
I got this from my girlfriend for Christmas and I have spent the two days since my flight looking for more lessons! It was amazing and it's worth spending a little extra for the full hour!
- Rob - New York city, Tuesday, April 27, 2010
