Description

Begin your one-hour flight experience at Palo Alto Airport, giving you plenty of time to take in the Bay Area’s most iconic sights from above. Meet your flight instructor, board your aircraft, and take off over the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, the Salesforce Tower, Coit Tower, Golden Gate Park, the Bay Bridge, Oakland, and Alameda.

Continue along the California coastline past the Marin Headlands, Sausalito, and Tiburon while enjoying panoramic views of the Pacific and San Francisco Bay.

Under the guidance of an FAA-certified flight instructor, you can take the controls and fly as much or as little as you like.

I offer maximum flexibility and can customize the experience to match your interests, comfort level, and curiosity — whether you want more sightseeing, more hands-on flying, or a personalized route.

You will arrive at the airport for a one-hour flight, with time spent before and after briefing and debriefing as well being driven to and from the airplane - the total time spent at the experience will total approximately two hours.

Good to know before you go
  • This is a hands-on flying experience - you can fly as much or as little as you would like!
  • The flight is tailored to your comfort level and curiosity.
