$100 for an Introductory Flight Lesson ($200 Value)

Lasting approximately an hour, each introductory flight lesson places students inside the cockpit of a Cessna 172 or Piper aircraft so they can take the controls themselves under the supervision of a certified instructor. Each student receives a brief overview of flight techniques and safety procedures on the ground before slipping the surly bonds of the Raleigh-Durham Airport and performing simple airborne maneuvers, including a gradual turn and communicating with air-traffic control. The time spent aloft may be credited toward pilot’s license requirements, and a second passenger may tag along in the plane for an additional $10.

FlightGest, Inc.

Beyond whisking passengers in comfort and style on charter flights, the team of FAA-certified flight instructors at FlightGest, Inc. trains aspiring aviators to soar among the clouds themselves. Operating out of Raleigh-Durham Airport, the teachers conduct proficiency training and lessons in everything from introductory flights to private pilot’s licenses aboard a fleet of fully-equipped aircraft such as Cessna 172 and Piper aircraft. Both new and experienced pilots can also practice executing maneuvers and handling difficult situations inside the FAA-approved single- and multi-engine flight simulators that are equipped with a full instrument panel.

The Groupon Guide to: Dog-Show Breed Standards

With billions of viewers and ad revenue through the roof, it’s no secret that everybody loves watching dog shows. But what do they judge these pedigreed pooches on? Hint: the things in this guide:

1. Is the Dog Crying? A sad dog is never a winning dog. An exemplar of the breed should be happy and boisterous, not a gross crying mess. Plus, the only dogs even capable of crying are genetic aberrations.

2. Has the Dog Eaten a Judge’s Finger During the Process? Only one dog (a mastiff named Grandmaster Waddlesplint) has ever won after consuming a judge’s finger. (It was only a pinky.)

3. General Dogliness: Is this really a dog? Not a pile of ants or a popular wooden toy? How much of a dog is the dog? Like, way dog or just some dog? This is generally the most important.

4. Telepathy Test: No dog has ever passed this test, but judges are holding out hope.

5. Pick Your Favorite: None of this matters. The judges just pick their favorite dog.

Is that dog really a dog?
