  • Learn from a knowledgeable and experienced FAA certified flight instructor
  • Train aboard a Cessna 162 or 172 - the most widespread training aircrafts in the world
  • Handle the controls of the airplane while taking in views of Texas Hill Country below
  • No experience necessary!

Have you always wondered what it would be like to sit in the pilot's seat of an airplane, take the controls, and soar into the deep blue? This Learn to Fly experience is for you!

Your hands-on flight lesson will begin with a one-hour ground school session where you will learn the basics and prepare for your flight. Your instructor will take you through the preflight inspection and prepare the Cessna for takeoff.

After ground school and preflight inspection, it's time for takeoff! In the air, you will take the controls and do the majority of the flying with your FAA certified flight instructor with you every step of the way as you take to the sky.

After landing, your instructor will enter your flight in an official pilot's logbook which you may keep either as a souvenir of a once-in-a-lifetime experience or as the beginning of your pilot license training.

Prepare for a memorable experience over Texas Hill Country, and come learn to fly!
