San Carlos Flight Center, San Carlos

We are a family of three who were out to try something fun but less conventional than the movies. We turned to the blue skies and were not disappointed. Thanks to Dan, our skillful pilot, this turned out to be a wonderful experience. He took the time to explain everything and provide reassurances, even before we had any thoughts of freaking out. He even positioned the plane in all the right angles for us to take videos and photos. Couldn't have helped for a better pilot! This has got to be the best way to see the SF Bay Area. Flying in a small plane at an altitude and speed much lower than commercial gives you astounding views of the east bay, the peninsula, and virtually all of San Francisco. We highly recommend that you try this experience. And when you do, you might consider dropping your back-seat driving (e.g. "look out; you re going to fast; can't you see that big plane coming at us?"). There's a couple of bomb bay doors in the belly of the plane.

All I can say it was amazing! I couldn’t have picked a better date and time. We were up for a while thanks to air traffic being crazy busy so we got to see more. Our pilot Justin Chow was very nice and took his time with safety. Following his safety check list.

My granddaughter and I really enjoyed the flight experience! Highly recommend!

honestly I was SUPER excited for this. It was a VERY fun thing to do. I highly recommend to try this out. I would make this 5 stars but I feel there was one huge step that wasn't talked about.....safety. The pilot was funny and comforting, but I would think that it being my 1st time, there would be a safety procedure to follow, but it seemed there was none. We didn't even sign a waiver as the woman explained over the phone when making the reservation. It was scary to fly not knowing what can happen in the air. I kind of had to mentally prepare myself and pray for nothing to happen. Other than that, it was ALL good!!! i will do it again!!!
