Pilots are the cowboys of the air, roaming the wide-open skies and herding children's runaway balloons. Giddy up, up, and away with today's Groupon: for $199, you get a two-hour flight lesson in a twin-engine aircraft from Paragon Flight Training in Fort Myers (a $400.50 value).

A facility specially certified for Cessna pilot training, Paragon Flight Training lifts students into the skies through an immersive, high-tech flying experience. Two-hour lessons commence with one hour of ground training, as students learn the ins and outs of the white-winged Tecnam P2006T aircraft. The dual-engine sky sleds are equipped with Garmin G950 avionics, an all-glass flight deck that displays flight instrumentation, locations, navigation, and Berenstain Bears story lines in large-format, high-resolution displays. Ground-bound individuals then rise above the horizon line for one hour of in-the-air training, as certified instructors grant a bird's-eye view of the land below. Replete with a serene, off-white interior, the Tecnam aircraft boasts lower propeller RPM and reduced noise levels for more stealth-like cloud-tipping performance.
