Rides for Two!
Seats two! The plane seats two passengers comfortably side-by-side in the front cockpit. Surprise your spouse, parents, kids, or special someone with a ride for two around the bay. They'll always remember the flight and the person who took them.

There is a two-person minimum for all flights. If you'd rather fly alone the price is the same as for two but we'll install the control stick in the front cockpit so you can see how easy flying really is. (Don't tell our pilots we told you that, it softens their "mystique".)

Night Flights - Additional $59
For a whole different view of the bay area, schedule a flight at night and see a panorama of lights as far as the eye can see.

Sunrise Flights - Additional $169
For the fisherman-turned-flyer. This costs more because Navy pilots are night owls. Good thing we've got a couple of regular guys for pilots who like nothing more than wiping the pre-dawn mist off the plane before flying. Bring extra coffee if you're worried the pilot will fall asleep at the stick. Nobody's asked for this one yet and we've got a pool going on when the first one comes in.
