$79 for a One-Hour Discovery-Flight Experience ($172.50 Value)

A pilot provides a basic introduction to the aircraft, a late-model Diamond DA40 with a full glass panel of avionics, and the fundamental concepts of flying for about 20 minutes before clients explore the freedom of the skies for about 40 minutes.

Solo Flight Training

Why take a walk when you can take a flight instead? From their hanger at Ellington Field Airport, the certified instructors of Solo Flight Training dedicate themselves to answering that question through their personal flight training lessons. Using a blend of simulator training and real in-flight experience, students can master necessary skills on the ground before heading to the classroom of the clouds within the cockpit of the school's Diamond DA40. Instructors keep a close watch during the supervised flights, standing ready to offer encouragement or tweak techniques as needed. They also run discovery flights that introduce the thrill of private aviation to aspiring pilots and sightseers alike.

The Groupon Guide to: Remaining Calm

Life is full of stressful situations that challenge our ability to remain calm. Whether you're in the middle of a heated debate or being chased by a gaggle of exes, use these techniques to remain even-tempered:

Take a Deep Breath: Feeling air slowly enter and leave your lungs will remind you that nothing really matters because we are all just balloons that move air around.

Count to 10: Ten is the most calming number because when turned sideways it looks like a thin man sleeping on a big, round rock. He's freer than any of us.

Think about Something Positive: You'll feel better if you imagine something peaceful such as a smiling child, a clear blue sky, or a horse playfully biting his master's hand.

Repeat a Positive Mantra: Many people are soothed by chanting "this too shall pass," and others like to repeat "I'm the one in charge, I sail my own barge."

Which number looks like a free man? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
