Give someone the chance to fly an airplane. A Discovery Flight at Van Nuys is a gift they won’t forget.
For the person who looks up every time a plane flies over, a discovery flight puts them in the pilot’s seat.
They won’t just be along for the ride. They fly about 95% of the flight, or as much as they want, from taxi and takeoff through the maneuvers and the landing, with an instructor beside them the whole time. No experience needed, and they can bring another person along.
