Rated 5 out of 5 by Awesome experience! From the time you step out onto the tarmac your made to feel like your in charge. Stepping into the pilot seat was a bit different! I thought starting the aircraft was cool, but takeoff WOW! Then the feeling that your flying is out of this world! Totally awesome experience! 17 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by This was a great experience! The instructor was very friendly and guided you through every step. I did everything except land the plane! 13 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Fun Taking control of a small plane was really exhilarating. Even though I was very nervous initially, it was a really great experience, and I'll definitely head back to do some lessons. The staff were very calm and confident. It was a very windy day out when I flew, but the landing was probably the smoothest I have ever experienced, including on commercial flights. Thanks for the fun. 10 March 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by An intense experience I would recommend it to anyone, even oldies like me. It took me an hour to come down to earth after I landed....Grand children witnessed it, they were impressed with their Gampa...Thank you 26 February 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by An exhilirating experience. A surprise birthday present for my 69 year old husband, he was thrilled with the experience. It was well organised and the pilot instructor was great. He patiently answered all the questions on the plane's workings, joked and generally made it a fun experience. I recommend it for anyone who has had a yen to take to the skies in a small plane. 29 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Good experience Noel was great - the experience was better than my previous flight with another organisation. Hopefully in my next experience I will be able to learn how to land the plane.....or is it too soon. 29 January 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by This was an awesome experience I have always thought about getting a pilot's license and this experience has only reaffirmed my want for it. My instructor was helpful and informative and I especially liked how I was allowed to do the flip switching etc. and take control I will definitely do it again Thanks! 21 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Very good light plane flight experience The day was a bit windy for flying and was suggested to reschedule as conditions may not be a good experience for me. Flight went ahead and was most enjoyable and educational. 17 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Really enjoyable experience. This was the chance to experience my first introductory training flight. Learning to fly is something I have always dreamed of doing and this was the opportunity to access whether I would like to pursue the private pilots licence training. I plan to continue learning to fly. 16 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by great had a great day thank you for this experience and the staff was very help full to me with booking and organise it with little time thanks redballoon 1 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Way more flying than I expected! Very professional outfit who treat the experience as your first flying lesson. I had the controls from taxi and take-off right through to the approach when the instructor took over to land. This has certainly whet my appetite for more flying and was a great birthday present! 30 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by A fantastic experience and a really great Fathers Day gift I was very surprised to receive this gift for Fathers Day. I booked early because I knew it would be very popular, my only complaint would be the couple of weeks to wait until I could book, I chose a very busy weekend. The instructor was very knowledgeable and very friendly too. Our flight was out over the ocean and great weather; A small cross wind kept things interesting too! I loved the experience and I'm looking forward to the new Red Balloon experience - I have already recommended this to my friends and family. 24 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Love flying? Then you'll love this. Very informative introduction to flying in a Piper Cherockee fixed prop trainer. Trainer was very talkative and helpful, and let me take the controls from the start. I didn't expect to do a takeoff and a landing. Wish I could afford to do this with the purpose of gaining a licence. 22 November 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by A great experience A great experience. I enjoyed myself a lot. Smooth flight. 19 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic - enjoyed it immensely! This was a Father's Day present from my son and it was a fantastic experience. My flight instructor, (David) was very thorough and he made sure I had an enjoyable flight. He took me through the pre-flight inspection explaining all the details. From take-off to landing he made sure I took over the controls and was not just a passenger. Although the whole experience took nearly one hour, it seemed like only five minutes. I will be giving my son the same present on his birthday in Feb. 17 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Interested in flying? Do yourself a favour and experience the Light Aircraft introduction This was a great experience and has made me think about having more lessons. The amount of flying time I was given in the training flight was more than I expected. It was very instructive and tremendous fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in flying. 16 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent exhilarating experience The real deal, flying a plane and experiencing firsthand what it's like to fly a plane - scary and exciting at the same time. 12 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by THE MOST EXCITING THING I HAVE DONE IN DECADES. NOEL MADE ME FEEL RELAXED FROM GO TO WHOA. HAVEN'T STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT SINCE. THANKS FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE. 15 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent experience, rate it highly. 14 August 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Excellent experience! Instructor was fantastic, I had previously had a flying lesson so instructor was happy to skip over what I had already done so I was not doubling up! Highly recommended for those thinking of obtaining a pilots licence or for those that want to be able to say they have flown! 12 August 2012
