$99 for a Discovery-Flight Package ($209 Total Value)

  • Use of a Cessna 172 airplane (a $135 value)
  • Ground and in-air instruction (a $49 value)
  • An additional ride-along passenger (a $25 value)

The flight package starts with 45 minutes of ground instruction, during which instructors demonstrate how to read the plane's instruments and explain to students how to fly the plane and maneuver it when it’s on the ground. They then show students how to inspect the plane’s exterior. After completing the ground inspection, students sit in the pilot's seat, start the plane, and taxi it to the runway before taking off.

The resulting 60-minute flight covers approximately 30 nautical miles, and students may soar over downtown, Lake Hartwell and Lake Greenwood, and even their house if it's close enough. Students also get to bring along one ride-along passenger to share the experience. Lessons are scheduled any day of the week between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., pending availability, and are held at Greenville Downtown Airport (GMU) or Anderson Regional Airport (AND).

Airwolf Aviation

At Airwolf Aviation, founder Michele Rash and her team of instructors keep one thought in mind when training students to become certified pilots: "Would I sit in the back seat while he or she flew me around?" This question guides them while they tailor training for each student and has resulted in a pass/fail rate of 97% over the past three years.

With three flight schools, a fleet of Cessna airplanes, and a multi-engine Piper Aztec E, the instructors lead courses that qualify students for private, instrument, commercial, and multi-engine pilot licenses. They also help professional pilots earn flight-instructor certifications. When they’re not teaching lessons, Airwolf's team introduces clients to aviation through discovery flights and city tours that fly to the governor's floating mansion.

The Groupon Guide to: Apple Picking

As President Dwight Eisenhower always said, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An apple at night? Ooh, there's a sneaky delight!" Here are some tips for gathering these famed fruits:

Plant an Apple Orchard: Apples grow faster when they're nourished by fertilizer, which is the businessman's way of saying “thick, sweet dirt.”

Climb an Apple Tree: Once your apple trees grow, you'll have to scale one to get its fruits. Use a ladder or make the apples come to you by burying the tree in more and more dirt until you can walk to the top of it.

Gather Apples in a Basket: You'll need a basket that's round, deep, and has never been used to transport a sick person.

Make Something: Core, peel, and bake your newly acquired apples into a pie, tart, or wet mush that is meant for babies but can be eaten by soft-toothed adults.

What did President Eisenhower always say about apples? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
