Frequently Asked Questions:

What should I wear for the flight, is it going to be cold up there?

It is always a good idea to bring a jacket.  It really depends on the season of the year and the weather for the day.  During the summer months a short sleeve shirt is comfortable, but most other times it is best to wear a jacket to be comfortable.  Some may also prefer to wear some light gloves, especially if you sign up for the “you fly it” flight as you will have your hands on the controls and not in your pockets for the flight!  Comfortable shoes such as sneakers make climbing in and out much easier than high heels also!  And also wearing sun glasses is helpful to protect your eyes from the wind and of course, the sun!  You will be furnished a cloth helmet with earphones to wear during the flight so no additional headgear is required.

Can I bring a camera or a video recorder on the flight?

Yes, as long as you can keep control of the device so it does not blow out!  I once had a passenger lose their camera overboard during an aerobatic flight and it was found in a field some months later by a farmer and I returned it to the customer but this rare.  She was able to recover the photos from the disc but the camera did not survive the impact.  So it is best to use a wrist strap if you are planning to take photos or video while on your flight.

Is there a weight or a size limit for passengers?

Yes.  The precise weight depends on the air temperature and density for the day of the flight but generally I can take anyone that is 300 pounds or less.  The seat is adjustable in height and the cockpit is fairly roomy compared to most training aircraft of the day.

Is there an age limit?  Can you take children?

There is no age limit.  I have taken passengers in their 90’s that have greatly enjoyed the flight as well as children of all ages.  For children it really depends on the maturity of the child and whether they are ok to sit by themselves during the flight.  I can only take one passenger at a time.  The seat is adjustable and additional seat cushions can also be used to make sure that children can sit high enough in the seat to see out and enjoy the flight.  There is two way communications between the pilot and the passenger so this usually helps as I have found children have lots of questions!

Can friends or relatives watch the flight?

Absolutely, the more the merrier!  Anyone attending will be able to view the aircraft taking off and landing as well as some of the flying, depending on the nature of the ride and how far we are venturing out for the day.  Chairs are available for anyone who is waiting at the hangar area and there is a climate controlled lounge area at the airport office with restroom facilities and snack machines.  Also there will be photo opportunities before and after the flight with the aircraft.  We want everyone to enjoy the day and the experience and have a great time!
