Choose Between Two Options

  • $57 for a 45-minute flight lesson (a $115 value)
  • $109 for a 90-minute flight lesson (a $225 value)

For the 45-minute lesson, students meet with one of JacksonAir's expert instructors for a 15-minute session to learn piloting basics, followed by 30 minutes spent flying above the Coachella Valley. The 90-minute option includes a full hour in the air.

JacksonAir Flight Training

The sky above the Coachella Valley is often sunny and clear. The cloudless conditions make it easy to pick out a small aircraft as it materializes out of a mountain range on the horizon, then corkscrews and performs a grand loop-the-loop before heading home to the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport. The shiny blue Citabria plane is the resident aerobatic aircraft at JacksonAir Flight Training. The company's owner, Scott Mourhess, who dreamed of G-forces and airborne antics as a little boy, now oversees a fleet of no fewer than six aircraft used to train commercial and private pilots.

Scott and his fellow FAA-certified flying instructors occupy prime aviation real estate. The skies above their Thermal airport often draw pilots from other flight schools in the Palm Springs region, who flock to the area for the ideal practice conditions and absence of lines at sky tollbooths. The veteran instructors also take novice pilots on 20- to 30-minute flights that introduce them to the excitement being in a cockpit and the thrill of flying.

The Groupon Guide to: Teaser Trailers

While all movies are uniformly great, financial practicalities dictate that movie studios must build "buzz" around a movie, often before the footage exists to make a proper trailer for it. By having any combination of the following phrases fly toward the screen, you can craft a teaser trailer so compelling that it will make the final film look like garbage:

  • In a World
  • One Man
  • Everything You Thought You Knew
  • This Summer
  • Or Die Trying
  • And the Producers Who Brought You
  • Is Our Only Hope
  • Happy Feet 3

What is the best teaser trailer of all time?
