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".)

more than wiping the pre-dawn mist off the plane before flying. Bring extra

for this one yet and we've got a pool going on when the first one comes in.
