Well Del Sol now that you mention it...

Interested in what it’s like to fly? Yes.

Always been a bucket list item? Sure, why not.

Want to ‘try it’ before you decide? Absolutely

I thought that this would make a perfect gift for somebody who loves adventure, or maybe somebody hard to buy for. Oh wait that's me too. 

First you call for information or to reserve your discovery flight. Then set a time to meet with a pilot/flight instructor. 

The morning of my flight. The school is very near the Albuquerque Sunport. Planes and runways that is handy. Front desk staff was very pleasant, flight instructor very informative, and he even put up with my humor asking if we would do any top gun moves. He said no. Weather plays a big role in a smooth flight. That makes sense. I got 45 minutes basic education and 45 minutes in the air. Before the flight there was a complete safety check of all parts of the plane. Inside the plane you plug in a headset with microphone, feet on the rudder control (its not gas and brake). Hands on Yoke. The flight instructor actually controls the entire flight. You get to test the rudder and yoke in flight so you get a feel for it. Well that really puts you at ease. Up in the air the view is so amazing. I was happy I could take a few pictures and video which will always remind me of my discovery flight. When you turn that plane around and you feel like you are floating for a moment those are my "happy butterflies". The landing was so smooth I was impressed. I am now more informed about what it takes to become a pilot. It's doable with a few options like sport, private or commercial pilot. I got a certificate with my .7 hour discovery flight. I'm on my way. 

It's never too late to live your best life.

The flight prices can fluctuate with Airline fuel costs. When I took my flight in September 2022 it was less than $250 for priceless memories. If you book a flight let me know, let them know, let everybody know because its the best.
