Amazing. Pilot was very experienced.
I give this one a 5 Star review only because they wouldn't let me give it a 10. Amazing experience. I took my wife and my 19 year old son who had never flown before. Benjamin, the pilot, was super knowledgeable and accommodating, even though he looked to be 15. He let my son get some stick time steering the plane and even pumped up the excitement with a 3 G and 0 G turn. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Would love to do it again sometime.
It was great. Far exceeded our expectations. Our pilot Benjamin took extra care to educate our 7 year old granddaughter on the basics of flying and offered a thrilling but totally safe experience. Highly recommend
The pilot is very passionate about the history surrounding the plane and the world it operated in in various capacities. It was a novel experience being able to fly in a small plane while being able to see so many things from so high. I should've gone on a better day though.
This was a fun experience. We were able to fly over the Lexington . Would recommend to anyone wanting to see the fun of a small plane over the coast. The pilot also provides information about the plane and the area. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you
I was at the Rockport airport for an event with a school group and saw the tour. I am a non-current pilot and have not flown in 21 years due to injuries and life events. I've been thinking about getting current but hesitant. On a lark, I decided to go up with Benjamin. I request to fly over my house and neighborhood. The tour was wonderful and Ben was a great host but my problem now is that I want to get current again! LOL. Seriously, if you've even wondered, wanted or curious about flying this is a great trip, The views are spectacular, Benjamin and his team are excellent and the experience is one of a kind. I caution you though...you might want to engage in a very expensive hobby afterwards.
I booked the half hour flight on the Stearman biplane for my Dad’s 91st birthday. Jeremy met us immediately upon arrival and was very professional and friendly. He gave us a very knowledgeable briefing on the aircraft and assisted my father into the airplane. My Dad was thrilled with the whole experience I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in flying or historic aircraft.
