Harold was very professional yet fun to have as our guide and driver. Lots of fun surprises. I would love to list them but that would ruin it for you!! I would advise to take Dramamine if you get motion sickness. I didn't need it but I can see where someone might. Wear something white or a solid bright color for great pictures. All you need is your phone or camera and your coffee. We had perfect weather even in the August Texas heat. We traveled almost 20 miles across the northern part of the metroplex. I highly recommend. It wasn't scary at all. If you are afraid of heights, don't worry. I felt plenty secure in the basket.

Woah!!! I have never flown a hot air balloon before. Neither has my girlfriend.

He was very educational and made sure our safety was priority along with education of ballooning and having a blast! I will defined be booking with him in the fall time and any further events his participates in like the festivals in New Mexico! I'm a raging fan I'm totally buying a balloon instead of having kids. I used to want sports cars but now I want a balloon!

The Perfect Way to See Dallas from 1,500 Feet Low & Slow…read more My Friends and I wanted to do something different, so we thought getting in a Cessna and seeing Dallas at night would be cool. AND IT WAS! The three of us travel a lot for our jobs and fly in and out of DFW so this would be a bit different perspective. We arrived at Addison Airport and were greeted by our pilot Alex. Alex did a great job showing us the preflight and all that goes into getting a Cessna ready. Alex did a great job showing us around the aircraft during the pre-flight and explaining why an airplane is not like a car and you cannot just turn the key. I sat in the back, because I fly Cessna's I wanted to let my friend who had never been in a small plane sit at the controls. I am going to go off on a tangent here; the rich got it made with the whole flying private! Okay back to my review! We were buckled in and started taxing around 8pm. So it was going to be a night flight for sure. Right after take-off, we were flying over Dallas Love Airport. It was cool to see a Southwest 737 landing right under you. We flew over to Jerry World and Rangers Park; it was a perfect day to fly! Visibility was great. As we were flying over to Arlington we could see all the aircraft flying into and out of DFW. We then turned towards downtown Dallas. To see the skyline up close and all light up is amazing! My photos do not do the actual experience justice. As we worked our way back to Addison we flew over The Star in Frisco and Plano. So think about this real quick the next time you are stuck in DFW traffic; we flew from Addison to Arlington and back with time to do some circles around Frisco in under an hour. Try that that in your car! After we touched down we thanked our pilot for a great tour. We went home and reviewed our photos from a great time! So here is why I would recommend Starlight Tours. 1. If you have never flown in a small Cessna before this would be a great reason for you to. 2. Perfect way to show DFW to family and get some cool points. 3. If it is just amazing to see DFW from the air. 4. Try to do your flight on a clear day during sunset. I'm sure that would be amazing! Our night flight was cool, but sunset would be awesome! So there you go! Because I am a pilot, I will end by saying if you have a kid that is interested in flying. This would be a perfect way to show them what flying is all about.

Wow -- I don't even know where to start! My babe surprised me with a birthday helicopter ride (my…read morefirst time ever in one!), and You Take Flight made it absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Kelly and Captain Wolf made us feel so welcome -- they were fun, friendly, and just genuinely awesome people. You can tell they really love what they do, and every detail was so thoughtfully handled. Flying over the city at sunset? Unreal. Seriously one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen -- it gave me chills. The whole experience felt magical, and I couldn't stop smiling. We had the BEST time and honestly, I'd do it again and again without hesitation. Thank you guys for making such a special memory for us -- you're amazing at what you do!

Denise was a very personable host, her husband the pilot was a very nice gentleman. A husband and…read morewife duo, they work very well together. I was a little nervous at first, once we stabilized in the air I was able to relax. I loved getting in the helicopter with flowers there for me. I loved how they coordinated everything without me knowing. This was a very elegant anniversary gift. I will remember this experience forever! As we were in the air, we could hear the pilot explain specific locations. We could also hear people from the towers talking, pretty neat and cool. I am so happy and excited for this experience. Life is all about the memories we leave. If you ever have the chance to fly, try it. Don't worry about anything just enjoy the beautiful views of Dallas, TX . Thank you Denise and crew

I grew up in SVAA and now coach/parent a kiddo in SVAA…read more The dedication to the sports and the kids is unparalleled. The women working in the SVAA office are always on the phone with a parent or coach or school or ref/ump or someone. I've never walked in to a quiet office. Not once. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to juggle public vs. private school schedules, select leagues, challenging compliance obligations, etc.; but, SVAA is doing a damn good job trying to do so. If parents and coaches could see the behind-the-scenes work like I have now (season four), that office would be covered in flowers, balloons, and all the bagels in the land, for pity's sake. Keeping some of these community organizations and schools thriving would be great. I hope we (alums, parents, coaches, umps, refs, etc.) can continue to support this one.
