The best bday gift ever according to my husband **smiLe**
Zz T.

This is the best bday gift ever...**smiLe** Thank you my lovely wife Zz........ Love U This was an awesome flight. Nothing to compare with my regular flight training. Mike (the instructor) was excellent and well trained. Just simply followed his instructions, so easy to perform all these tricks and turns. Will definitely fly again with Mike...

Mini Bronco
Ed P.

I had an incredible experience flying with Mini. I was briefed with Tiny for about 25 minutes, he's a genius at breaking down what was gonna happen, what I would feel, and how to understand the flight. Once I was suited up I used my call sign Bronco and flew away with one of the most passionate stunt piolet I've ever met call sign Mini. We did absolutely everything in the book to stunting. There was no limit true TOP GUN feeling. I would recommend anyone and everyone considering it to do it. Once in a lifetime time experience worth every penny. True professional and once done I was greeted my Rocket and Tiny for an Epic picture with Mini and myself "Bronco"

Incredible experience!!
Henry L.

If you're hesitant about doing this because of the cost, don't be, it was worth it. The experience was amazing!! I remember watching Top Gun as a kid and this felt like I was in the movie. Mike and Veronica were great. Mike took me up in the Marchetti SF-260 for the World Aerobatic Champion ride or the Extreme Thrill Ride, not sure which one, but honestly, if you don't know flying, probably wouldn't know the difference... Mike is so passionate about flying, that it makes the whole experience even better. He's already a commercial pilot, so he really doesn't need to do this on the side, but he does this to give back and introduce average citizens to flying. I'm from Long Beach, so them operating in Long Beach airport was so convenient for me. Once you book online, you should call to verify, they had to reschedule me, but really no big deal, worth the wait. They typically fly only weekends. So about the experience: Once at their location (which is a building connected to a hanger), you sign in, get in a jump suit, Mike goes over safety instructions, some basics of flying and physics for people that have never flown before, and then you're off. Mike and Veronica were more than willing to take pictures for you in the plane. I recommend getting the video, it's recorded in HD, and there's so many views that Mike seamlessly cycles through as you're up in the air, the video came out great! Once in the air, Mike trust you to take control and has you do most of the maneuvers until you get it right, his hands are off the controls...He is crazy. Imagine being in a roller coaster, that you're in control of, we did so many flips, turns, rolls, etc. It was incredible. The view of the coast, Long Beach, CSULB pyramid, the sky were all memorable. I honestly did get a little motion sickness towards the latter part of the flight, but held it in because I was having a blast. To just get a taste of what real stunt pilots do in the air was truly awesome. I could go on and on about how much I loved this experience, it is a must do. You won't regret it!! I don't carry cash, but I wish I did, cause I would have tipped him, but hopefully this great review will do! Thanks Mike and Veronica!!

Add this to your bucket list for sure:D Off the charts awesome!

Ready to go flying in the Pitts.

Even with a TFR that affected inbound/outbound traffic, Mike was professional and eager to get us flying. Had a blast in the Pitts. Can't say enough good things about Mike. He's very good at making you feel comfortable regardless of your skill level. Mike loves to fly and it shows. Thank you Mike and Sky Thrills for an awesome hour of flying!!

See all
