Have wanted to fly my whole life and this experience did not disappoint!! I was lucky to get an introductory flight as a gift so I cannot speak to the value monetarily, but my experience felt PRICELESS. My instructor was relaxed, knowledgeable, fun, and involved me much more than I expected. From pre-flight check of equipment, to taxiing and take off, I was encouraged to try things independently to feel and learn for myself, and not just watch or listen. The flight path was gorgeous - Jones Beach, Fire Island, the ocean from above on a sunny day?? Never appreciated NY so much!! Overall 10/10. I felt empowered, welcome, and my face still hurts from smiling the entire time. I will 100% be doing this again, and recommend it to anyone considering! (If you can, spring for the GoPro video footage if it’s your first time- you get it on a USB drive right after your flight and it’s worth it to be able to look back.)
