Choose Between Two Options

  • $99 for one discovery flight (a $209 value)
  • $499 for three two-hour flying lessons (a $937.95 value)

This discovery flight 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 one ride-along passenger to share the experience.

Each flying lesson begins with 30 minutes of ground instruction covering various aspects of flying and the plane itself. Students and instructors then take to the cockpit of an aircraft and ascend to a classroom in the sky, where aspiring pilots practice maneuvering the plane for 90 minutes.

Discovery flights and 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 or Anderson Regional Airport

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: Dressing Up Dogs to Make Them Even Cuter

When sweater companies began making sweaters specifically for dogs, the world got a whole lot cuter. Here are some other things you can dress your dog in so that the world we live in remains on top in terms of being cute:

  • Doggy jeans
  • Regular jeans
  • Pieces of jeans attached to dog in random places with masking tape
  • Four coffee cups, one for each paw
  • Shawl that smells kind of like peas probably because it has dried pea soup on it
  • Shoebox with no top so dog can just sit in it
  • Upside-down bread-bowl hat
  • Tiny cane
  • Someone’s hospital wristband
  • Necklace of chicken bones
  • A smaller dog who can remain still for long periods of time so it can form a scarf around a bigger dog's neck
  • Just a man's belt
  • If you've read up until now, you've probably figured out the point of this piece—dogs will look cute no matter what they're wearing as long it's one of the items listed above.

How many dogs can you fit in a coffee cup?
