Hands down one of the most amazing expierences i have ever had. Everything felt so easy, friendly, and relaxed. The pilot Mike is SO incredibly knowlageable and expierenced. I am blanking on the woman's name who handled scheduling and such, but she made the process easy and clear. They were just so nice. This has been a bucket list item of mine for a while and I could not have asked for a more perfect expierence. Thank you!

This adventure was a gift from my wife for my 35th Birthday. Mike was a very informative and skilled pilot that gave me confidence when flying for the first time. We flew between Catalina and the Long Beach container terminals doing aerobatic maneuvers. At the end of our flight we flew over the terminals of Long Beach which gave a whole new perspective to the size of ships I work on.
Thanks Mike for a experience of a lifetime!

Amazing Experience!!!
Michael aka "Rocket" is awesome! He's very passionate about flying and does an excellent job walking you through every maneuver.

What a great time! will definitely do it again.

They are conveniently located at the Long Beach Airport.

We had a blast in the 45 min open air bi-plane today (September 18, 2013). One of the best experiences I have had -- anywhere. The acrobatics in an open air plane are incredible. That was definitely a highlight as well as gorgeous ocean views, seeing a blue whale from the air, the funnest landing I've ever had, and our gracious host/pilot Mike. Just an overall incredible experience and worth every penny. I highly recommend.

Blew away my expectations; quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever done in my life. I flew a stunt plane and performed aerobatic maneuvers. The plane has controls for both passengers, and the instructor(Mike) does a good job of explaining everything. I did rolls, flips, spins, hammerheads, flying upside down and a few more things, all with Mike guiding me. And I've never flown or have even been in a small aircraft prior to that day. I have not stopped talking about this experience since I landed back on earth, and all I want to do is go back up in the sky.

We (me, my 12 and 10 year old and Papa 64) used google offers for a bi-plane ride. (No loops or anything crazy!) It was a blast! Even though our ride was more of a cruise tour the pilot did just enough tricks to make it fun. It's family owned and operated by father and sons and they were are very nice and professional. We felt very welcomed and in good hands. Even though our flight was significantly delayed, which they said was unusual, we had fun waiting watching the other air craft and talking to the staff and others flyers.

Next time we are going for the loops!

The experience we got in the air was like none I ever thought that I'd be able to experience. It was the perfect balance between an intense adrenaline rush and the reassurance that you were safe with the expertise provided. The owner and employees gave a warm, welcoming, family vibe from the moment we set foot in the hangar to the moment we left. The flight in the biplane was definitely a life changing event especially with the aerobatics that were preformed. Try it! You won't regret it!

Amazing time with Mike in the Waco biplane. This is a must do if you are in the area. Mike and the whole crew were great. He let me fly almost the entire time as we flew down the coast. Great experience.
