"We flew so close to the Hollywood Sign it was crazy. Then right down the center of Dodger Stadium, downtown LA, Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, and Malibu. He landed, and I got to steer the plane down the runway."
"My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday. I was literally blindfolded and driven to the location. Everything from the friendly staff to the flight instructor to the simulator, down to the takeoff, flight and landing. I decided that I'm hooked."
"I am absolutely terrified of flying. I couldn't believe how comfortable and safe I felt during the flight. Alex, the instructor, is so knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable. A true professional."
"I took my wife on a one-hour flight for her birthday and it was fantastic. We took off from Van Nuys, flew past the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, past Dodger Stadium, and then west over the Santa Monica Pier and Point Dume to watch the sun sink below the horizon."
"After flying all around the world in commercial planes this was the first time I actually felt I was flying. Cannot wait to do it again."
"A must bucket-list thing to do. He gave me and my brothers an amazing smooth experience, friendly and funny, and knew how to give us a thrill while in the air."
"I overcame my fear of flying with the Diamond aircraft and the simulator. Gracious and impeccable service that would impress a picky customer like me."
