$179 for a 30-Minute Aerobatic Airplane Ride ($399.99 Value)

Aerobatic thrill rides prep daredevils with a 20-minute briefing on maneuvers and proper safety before putting them in the passenger seat of a Pitts S2B aerobatic biplane. In the course of 30 minutes, the expert pilot steers the aircraft into arabesque flourishes, barrel rolls, and loops as passengers are glued to their seats by gravitational forces. Although not included with this Groupon, aeronautic aficionados can purchase a recording of the entire flight ($49) with which to augment their fond memories of the skies.

Four Winds Aviation

Four Winds Aviation's team of veteran sky jockeys vaults passengers skyward for white-knuckle stunt rides and easygoing introductory flights. Intent on maintaining high safety and training standards, Four Winds’ seasoned flight instructors all hold high-level ratings and have earned hundreds of flying hours from service in the military, careers with commercial airlines, and years of entering aerobatic competitions. On any given day, the crew can be found imparting their passion for soaring upon pupils during training courses ranging from basic aerobatics to discovery introductory flights and flight-training courses. Students spend time on terra firma reviewing safety basics before taking flight in one of Four Winds’ meticulously maintained cloud slicers including Piper Archer airplanes, Pitts S2B aerobatic biplanes, and saddle-equipped flying squirrels. Along with beginner and recreational courses, the instructors also help more experienced flyers accrue the hours, experience, and know-how required to work toward sport, instrument, and commercial pilot's licenses.

The Groupon Guide to: Local Commercials

No matter the business, these premises for local commercials are sure to get customers lining up to your door—assuming they watch a lot of daytime and late-night television. Try any of the following ideas:

  • A man in a gorilla costume jumps up and down on a used car for being too expensive.
  • A frighteningly incomplete computer-animated leprechaun says your store’s mattresses “are no SHAM—they ROCK!”
  • A black-and-white close-up of an old woman looking frightened. When the old woman uses your product or service, the picture returns to color as normal.
  • All text! Can’t go wrong with text!
  • Retired minor-league baseball pitcher Carey Mazzuchellio throws a baseball … right at the camera? No, not really, but it sure looks like it once the graphics come together.

How can a local commercial transform your local business?
