I purchased a flight lesson from Horizon Aviation for my partner for his birthday in 2022, but he…read moredidn't redeem his lesson until this fall. I got him the "Airman's Flight" package which is a full one-hour introductory flight lesson, including pre-flight briefing, takeoff, meander around Rhode Island, landing, & post-flight debriefing. It was $250 & I think it was worth the cost. We had a bit of a scheduling snafu - We booked the lesson almost a month in advance, but leading up to the lesson, we were told that we were on the waitlist for that day. How could that be? We booked over a month prior. We wouldn't specifically book a date that would put us on a waitlist. With our busy schedules, we need certainly. The man on the phone, George, made some moves & scheduled us for the following week. No biggie. We arrived early to the lesson & my partner was introduced to Eugene, the flight instructor. His pre-flight briefing was extensive & informative. We joked that flying a plane was "just like driving a boat, right?" We got to see the hangar, where the planes sleep. Just kidding. But it's a cute idea I can't shake from my head. Nap zone for planes. I got to sit in the back of the plane & be the ultimate passenger princess. I took one million photos, including some selfies, & even spotted my dad's house below. We only reached an altitude of about 5,000 feet, I think. I was lost in my own world, but from the snippets I overheard, Eugene was a wonderful instructor. My partner did some taxi-ing on the tarmac, takeoff, & lots of meandering. Eugene took care of the landing. It was truly an hour lesson. No less. We flew all the way down the coast, past Misquamicut, and then back again. This hour counts towards my partner's flight training (he received a flight log) if he ever wants to pursue this further. Overall, a wonderful experience, even for just the passenger princess. Well worth the money. I highly recommend as a gift or date idea. Or for anyone feeling adventurous. Thanks Horizon Aviation Team. A+!

Having always wanted to see what it was like to be up in the air (as a pilot, not a passenger), I…read morewas excited to take my discovery flight. I was thrilled that the instructor let me take the controls and (obviously) guide me to what needed to be done. The winds were gusty so the take off and landing gave a little extra gulp in my stomach, but I had a blast. Went up to about 2500 feet (maybe a bit more) and did a big circle. Had a blast. Flight instruction isn't cheap but I applaud them for the ease of scheduling and getting me up in the air so quickly. Top notch!

I brought a friend's son here a few years ago for a flight lesson birthday present. He had never…read morebeen in an airplane before and for $50 he got a 30-minute intro lesson with a pilot. Since it was his first time ever in a plane, the pilot extended the time out a little and he was up there for close to an hour. He got to control the plane a few times and brought it up many times over the years. If you sign up for more lessons, the $50 goes towards the cost of the remainder of the lessons and you can get your pilot's license. Very cool.

Then I met Doug, I don't care what your learning curve may be, you will find it with Doug. I started flying with him at a different school, when I heard he moved on I couldn't fly with anyone else. A few years later I managed my funds appropriately only to find out Doug opened Air Ventures. I again started flying with him, after a few short weeks my confidence behind the yoke is already through the roof. From my Instrument rating, I will continue on to my Commercial License, from my Commercial license to my CFI. The sky is the limits with Air Ventures!!! Big thanks to Doug -Alan-

As a first-time flyer, I was a mix of nervous and excited -- but from the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. My instructor, Yasin, was absolutely incredible. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but also patient, encouraging, and made me feel confident every step of the way. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt comfortable in the cockpit before we even took off. This experience exceeded every expectation I had. I will 100% be returning for more lessons, and I highly recommend Farmingdale Aviation (and Yasin) to anyone who's ever dreamed of flying -- whether you're serious about becoming a pilot or just want to experience something unforgettable.
