A Discovery Flight, or introductory flight, provides an opportunity for someone that may never have been flying, to simply try it out. The flight will be with a certified flight instructor who will be able to answer almost any flying related questions you have. We will wear headsets to communicate during the roughly forty-five-minute flight and the instructor will encourage you to participate as much as possible, depending upon your skill and level of comfort, of course. The flight is intended to be a casual and fun introduction to flying.
