I have been wanting to do this flight over Yosemite for a few years now. My wife and I lived in…read morePine Mountain Lake (Groveland) for a few years during Covid, and I discovered Yosemite Flights on instagram (I think). I immediately was drawn to it because you can fly over Yosemite Valley and get a vantage point that would otherwise be impossible. We ended up going on Saturday morning for my wife's 35th birthday. Krystal and Jason were awesome and friendly. Krystal met us in the parking lot and walked us into the office, where we then met Jason. We chit-chatted for a few minutes then went up in the air. Both were very professional, and you could tell there was a lot of love and care in the business and the area. The flight itself was unbelievable. Jason is an excellent pilot. The takeoff, flight and landing were all very smooth. We flew over to Cherry Lake, then over to Half Dome. Jason circled Half Dome for us a couple times, then flew over Yosemite Valley back to Pine Mountain Lake. The trip was just about an hour in total. It was a truly incredible experience. It had just snowed a few days prior as well. So all the mountains were dusted with snow. Jason & Krystal were pros and very hospitable, and the trip was just simply amazing. This is definitely something I will do again, and try to recruit more people to join in on. Can't recommend this enough!

Half dome seemed at my fingertips El Capitan was waiting on my left and five waterfalls were foaming and rolling thousands of gallons upon gallons hundreds of feet down to the valley floor . Then you could see bumper-to-bumper traffic that was i was not in beside the beautiful Merced river. Tony knew every named mountain named waterfall peak and answered every question I had for him. I suggest this trip for anyone I'm 6 foot one weigh 225 pounds had a little trouble getting in his aircraft comfortable. Tony is so knowledgeable of the area. I would definitely advise you to contact airborne aviation services. This is a A+ guide service and charter. I would definitely use this business for my next charter flight. Thank you so much Tony For this day. I'll never forget Ronald Prather Purdy Tennessee.38375

Take wing and DO THIS! I bought this adventure as a birthday present for the hubby, and he loved it…read more(as well he should have). Andy was a great pilot and flew that biplane with gusto. Needless to say, I made sure to pay the little extra so hubby could experience the aerobatics this plans could do...giant loops and barrel rolls and cutting toilet paper (you'll have you fly to know what I'm talking about on that one). If you've been thinking about it, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try this adventure at least once. You'll be glad you did...hubby is already planning his next ride up into the wild blue yonder in the warbird. We call dibs!

My brother & sister-in-law joined my wife and I at Adventure Flight in Lincoln this past Sunday. We…read morewere there for open cockpit, biplane rides. What a fantastic experience. Years ago there was a period where I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in small, private, single engine airplanes. Except for long-hauls, I always enjoyed them more that commercial jet flights - the experience is more up close and personal. Anyway, nothing compares to my biplane experience at Adventure Flight. What a bunch of fun. Andy is a skilled and personable pilot. I had signed up for aerobatics and although slightly apprehensive, I was committed to "sticking to the plan". The pilot made it easy, comfortable and excitingly memorable. We did multiple, giant loop de loops and barrel rolls along with other maneuver that I can't name. I am not a young man .... but, I can honestly say this was one of the most fun things I have done in my life .... Consequently, I plan to do it again. I highly recommend Adventure Flight. Note, Andy's fleet is not limited to the biplane.

Lucky for me, not even his son, nor his wife and kids wanted to go. I guess they think it is dangerous. Anyway, the weather was perfect and our pilot, Brennan was a true professional and set my mind at ease. We flew over our houses, over Folsom Lake and parts of the North Fork and Middle Fork of the American River. Flying low through the river canyon was an unforgettable experience. The option to have the doors removed is something the we did not do sitting in the rear, but they did in the front. I would definitely go without doors next time. Hopefully, nobody will want to fill in the empty seat next year so I can go again!

After our flight we walked over to the airport cafe and enjoyed a very yummy lunch! A+ experience‼

We had the absolute best experience on my discovery flight with Brett! From the moment I arrived,…read morehe made me feel completely at ease. Brett has a perfect balance of professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm that instantly shows his passion for aviation and teaching. He explained everything clearly before we got in the plane, walking me through what to expect and answering all my questions with patience and detail. Once in the air, he gave me just the right amount of guidance--making sure I felt safe while also letting me truly take the controls and experience what flying is all about. His calm, encouraging style made the whole flight both exciting and comfortable. What really stood out was how much Brett wanted me to enjoy the experience. He pointed out landmarks, shared tips, and celebrated every little success along the way. By the time we landed, I not only had an unforgettable memory but also a much deeper appreciation for flying. If you're even thinking about trying a discovery flight, do yourself a favor and go with Brett--you won't find a better instructor to make your first flight as fun, safe, and inspiring as possible!

Mach5 helped me check off my highest bucket list item - to get my private pilots license on…read more4/29/23. Thanks to Mach 5 I was able to get high marks from my FAA examiner. The operation is top notch from the office/operations management, aircraft maintenance, flight logistics and coordination, and instruction. I transferred from another flight school and instantly saw the Mach 5 difference and high standard. I was fortunate to get paired with David Wells who did a perfect job of helping me reach my full potential. I just had fun flying at Mach 5, David, and will continue to fly with Mach5 in the future. KAUN (Auburn Airport) location provides good vibes, valuable flight experience as it is located in the base of the foothills with access to the Sacramento valley, and up front views/access to various aircraft. There is a cafe and two breweries near by. The mechanics are amazing and provide great exposure to maintenance and repair being an open shop right next to the office. This helped with my understanding of the aircraft and its systems. The planes are very well maintained and it is very clear where each plane sits with regards to maintenance and repair. It is clear Mach 5 has the highest standards for instruction. There are numerous layers and checks within the process. I was required to complete thorough flight reviews and marks after each flight which are recorded in my file and reviewed by chief instructors. At various points in the training I had to fly with a chief instructor for sign off to the next stage. This greatly increased my confidence moving forward by having multiple people give you a green light prior to the next step. The way Mach 5 operates, David Wells taught, and all that flying out of Auburn provided made me a very confident and safe pilot as I move forward in my training. Thank you to the team at Mach 5! Special shout out to Matt Behnam as well! Thanks Matt for all the help.

After having my run canceled last year due to smoke, I decided to give it another try and it was well worth it. The Extra 330LC plane does things you wouldn't imagine is truly an unforgettable experience. Add lake Tahoe views and it's breathtaking . I worked with Josh, who was the pilot, and he was amazing. I purchased the full package to extend the flight over lake Tahoe, my option to fly, and advanced aerobatics and if you have the means too I highly recommend that you do too. It's a once in a lifetime experience. The advanced aerobics included a tail spins, the plane flipping front over back and an inverted spins over Lake Tahoe. It was insane and the views were unbelievable. I do recommend taking motion sickness pills (night before and 2 hrs before). I don't typically get motion sickness but I did feel a little queasy by the end, even taking the pills, but it was well worth it. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. If you're looking for an adrenaline rush, Sky Combat Ace is the place to go!.

I had originally called one of the only other companies in town that advertises helicopter tours in Sacramento but they weren't very helpful. In fact, the guy who answered the phone at that other company was downright rude and unwilling to quote me a price. When I kept pushing him for a quote he actually hung up on me. So, I contacted Capitol Helicopter (this time by email) instead and got an extremely nice guy named Jeff Hendry. Jeff immediately responded to my email, quoting me a price and was totally open to whatever we wanted to do, whenever we wanted to do it. My nephew and I ended up choosing a 30-minute tour of downtown Sacramento on Saturday 11/7 at 10:00 AM and it was SPECTACULAR. Our pilot, Jesse, was very friendly and made the experience so fun for us. It was definitely worth every dime and I will not hesitate to do this again should the opportunity ever present itself.

If you like history of California and a lot of the gold rush , a good part is here and can learn and shop like you are in the old west. Yes that's right!
