I have only been to Above All Aviation on two occasions. I live about an hour away…read more The first time was in 2015 when my wife purchased a gift certificate for the Red Bird Simulator. I scheduled a time block and arrived about 15 minutes early. The Instructor seemed a little put out and said you're only 30 minutes late. I said I didn't realize you wanted me here 45 minutes before my time block. The Instructor then went to a calendar and asked my name again, and said "Oh I guess you are early, well let's go." I thought to myself I'm not going to let his bad day ruin mine. As we walked over to the simulator his attitude completely changed. It turned into a great experience. I just recently took my Private Pilot Knowledge Test and the facility and staff are great. The staff takes there jobs very serious, but are very friendly. I was actually very impressed by the search prior to and after the exam. Very professional and explained everything prior to the test. Another great experience wish I lived closer.

I have to rave about the quality of the people here at Above All Aviation. On Saturday after…read moreThanksgiving, I flew my daughter back to Santa Barbara. When I went to fire the engine up to come home, nothing. The battery was dead, and the FBO had no start cart for a piston engine. I'm basically dead in the water. None of the mechanics shops are open, and hand propping is never a great option. I was busy calling every business on the field, and it was Above All to the rescue. Joel got stuff together, drove to my plane. He was exceptionally careful, and we talked about what we were going to do before starting. Long story short, the engine was started, and I was on my with minimal delay. I can highly recommend Above All for going above and beyond, and attention to safety.

Had so much fun hang gliding today. We took off at a little over 3500 feet and were able to climb…read moreto over 4000 feet. We were higher than the airplanes on landing approach to Burbank airport. We flew with some turkey vultures in the area. This is the closest experience to flying like a bird. My instructor has flown over 10000 flights so I was in good hands. The video is of Alice landing after me. She landed on her feet and my instructor landed on the wheels. I will post the go pro footage later. Another great adventure!

Lately I've been doing a lot of daredevil activities and came across hang gliding. I previously did…read moreparagliding at La Jolla it was okay but hang gliding seemed to be more fun and extreme. I arrived at the glider port and then the instructor who was very nice Andy the owner came. We took a 40m drive to the glider port the team set everything up. Watched video on a iPad for quick training it was very simple instructions even kids can learn. We were up 35-40 high went fast, circled around and landed on the ground safe. Willie was my tandem pilot his landing style is very graceful and you land on your feet while Andy the former airplane pilot expert likes to land on wheels it was pretty cool. I'm really excited to get home and watch the gro pro footages of our mountain tandem hang gliding.

I had my first tandem jump here on March 22. I chose 18,000 feet (because, why not??) my instructor…read morewas Kevin and it was an absolute blast! He made sure I was aware of every step and explained everything to me in a manner that made sense! There were extensive gear checks and he vocalized each time what he was checking. The jump itself was exhilarating! I didn't experience any roller coaster drop feelings. One thing that I did experience that I wasn't aware would happen, but it makes sense now. If your ears are sensitive to pressure changes- the pressure in your ears might be a tad bit uncomfortable. This may be specific to the 18,000 ft, but better to be prepared! I decided to get the video add on and I'm so glad I did! The facility was comfortable and all the staff was so kind!! I've spent a good deal of time on the phone talking to Betsy who has been so wonderful answering all my questions! Fast forward to today. My experience at Skydive Santa Barbara was unexpectedly impactful on my life. It's all I've talked about since that day. I'll be going back to start the process of getting my license. If you've ever thought to try skydiving, I couldn't recommend this place enough!! Take the jump, you won't regret it!!

I'll be back soon!

This was my…read morefirst time bungee jumping, and I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to do it with. The guys are truly one of a kind, and the vibes are unmatched. Even though my jumps were a little messy, they kept my confidence and courage high the whole time. The team was encouraging and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend both the hike and the jump! And even if you're too nervous to take the leap, the hike alone is worth it. Plus, spectators are welcome, so it's a great adventure either way. Thanks for helping me conquer the Bridge to Nowhere and for not judging my less-than-graceful jumps!

Well. That was WELL worth the money. I honestly thought it was a steal of a deal if you ask me…read more Mike and his team were more than I could have asked for - in so many ways. His training, explaining and safety prep was comforting. He obviously knows his stuff and has been doing this for a very very long time. Just the interaction and education would have been enough for me - throw in the multiple 5-gs and every maneuver that plane was capable of - FIVE STARS from me!! I WILL BE DOING THIS AGAIN!! Thank you for making me feel alive, it was such a blessing. Ps. Girls, this isn't only for guys. Get out there and DO IT!!!!! We all know you want to

Skythrills provided such an AWESOME and exciting experience!!!! I initially thought it was a bit…read moretoo expensive for a couple of minutes in the air but it was totally worth it! How often do you have the opportunity to board a small open hangar craft and feel the wind blow by you as you soar over the world beneath you?! Not often at all. Mike was our pilot. He must be one of the friendliest guys I've ever encountered in quite some time. He gave us some nifty leather caps and a mic set so we could talk and hear from each other throughout the flight. You can tell Mike really gets a kick out of the joy others experience through flying with him. What I appreciated the most about this experience was how the plane was constructed. The biplane allowed my girlfriend and I to experience the whole flight together. I hiiiighly recommend giving Skythrills a try. Treat yo self!!!!!!

Amazing and fun!…read more Service: Great service overall, from the check in counter to the people driving the boat. A special shout out to Mark and Vinny who took us on the boat out to parasail. They were wonderful, fun, and professional the entire time. It felt both comfortable and exciting at the same time which I thoroughly enjoyed. Experience: This was my 3rd time parasailing and personally, this was the best place. The whole experience took about 1.5 hours so you have ample time to spend time on the water and soak in the sun while other parties are up in the air. It was a very fun experience overall and I will forsure be returning this summer. Parking: There's a Parking lot right by the boat rental which was very convenient. Finding the boat rental place from the parking is very easy too! Overall, 5/5 experience. If you're in the area in the summer or want to do an exciting activity, this is it! I also rented a GoPro so I could record myself during the parasailing. It was a great add-on! Again, thank you Mark and Vinny!
