Charleston Flight Services, LLC’s experienced instructors and pilots whisk students and sightseers into the wild blue yonder during flight lessons and aerial tours. During one-hour flying lessons, mentors first educate aspiring aviators about essential information in ground school, touching on such topics as aircraft inspection, instrumentation readings, and eruditely critiquing in-flight movies. Saddling up in one of Charleston Flight Service’s two- or four-seat Cessna sky steeds, students take wing on their first flight with instructors providing any necessary assistance or guidance. Alternatively, tours carry excursionists aloft to eyeball historic landmarks, including downtown Charleston, the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, the Morris Island Lighthouse, Fort Sumter, and subaquatic geoglyphs making up the first draft of Poseidon’s memoir.
