The human obsession with flight stems from a refusal to accept limitations and an intense desire to find out which of your neighbors secretly have pools. Put your eyes in the skies with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

  • $159 for a 30-minute introductory flight in a plane or helicopter (a $399 value)
  • $315 for a 60-minute introductory flight in a plane or helicopter (a $798 value)
  • $99 for a 60-minute session in a full-motion FAA flight simulator (a $199 value)

    Students take introductory flight instruction aboard a Cirrus SR20 airplane or a Schweizer 300CBi helicopter. After 30 minutes of ground and preflight training, the FAA-certified instructor will explain procedures while steering the plane down the runway or preparing the chopper for liftoff. Once aloft and at a safe altitude, students take sole control of the aircraft for the full 30 or 60 minutes while the instructor keeps watch for safety. Alternatively, climb into the full-motion Red Bird flight simulator's fully enclosed cockpit with more wraparound visuals to get the full experience of flying a plane while on the ground.

United Aviation Academy

The licensed, FAA-certified instructors at United Aviation Academy employ a fleet of helicopters and airplanes that serve as airborne classrooms for students enrolled in instructional programs that range from introductory flights to full commercial-pilot certifications. Since the academy does not reside at a busy airport, students never have to wait for runway clearance before taking off and enjoying the magnificent views of the Hudson Valley from on high. On the ground, the academy grants its pilot's license candidates access to instruction, conference rooms, and offices for quiet study and uninterrupted experiments with paper airplane folding. The outfit's Redbird FMX flight simulator also allows for highly realistic earthbound practice within a fully enclosed cockpit, complete with more than 200 degrees of wraparound visuals and a wealth of training scenarios.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing a Couch

Choosing the perfect couch is important because you're going to have to sleep on it if you ever accidentally spill something (beer) on your bed. Here are some tips for picking out a cushioned wonder:

  • Sit on the couch you're thinking about purchasing to make sure it's comfortable and sweat absorbent.

  • You can shave a fuzzy couch to make it into a leather couch.

  • Measure the couch to make sure it fits inside your house without blocking any exits or spots that the dog uses as a bathroom.

  • If you've got a brother who regularly visits or a secret son who sleeps in your home every night, you're going to need a couch with a pullout bed.

  • If you can't find a couch you like, ask the store if they can do a custom order or put three chairs next to each other.

Where does your secret son sleep?
