Wouldn't it be cool to say you've flown a plane. What a thrill it must be to sit in the Pilot's seat. Join us for an introductory flight lesson flying from Manassas to Culpepper, Virginia and back to Manassas.

Freedom Museum: While we take our turns at flying we'll walk over to the visit the Freedom Museum. The museum, created in association with the Smithsonian Institution, is more than a collection of timelines and facts. It provides a personal and emotional experience.

Flight Time: 1 Hour (1/2 hr per Person at $95 or Full Hour at $190)
Flights: 8 Planes & 4 Flight Schedules

How many Per Plane: 2 People plus instructor. One person will fly to Culpepper and the other will fly back or you can pay to fly the entire hour.

Cost will cover: Aircraft, Instructor, Museum and Your Ability to Fly

Lunch: They have a large picnic area so we'll gather for lunch to discuss our day and wait for others to return and switch out.

Event will end by 6PM and those interested we'll head over to an Irish Pub and grab some dinner & drinks.

See ya in the Sky :-)~


Directions:

From I-66, take Exit 44 (Rt 234); South to Rt 28 N; right on Godwin Dr; right on Gateway Blvd to Terminal Rd.

    •  Awesome. I was at the controls for the entire flight. The takeoff was fantastic, the flight was great, and I was glad I had help on the landing. I want to go again. 
    •  Waiting around was a bummer but we had fun playing games and getting to know one another. The experience was Priceless

       Great Meetup group & much fun. 
    • Tim
       Had to wait a little while for the flight but it was worth it. The pilots were very professional and safety-minded, and hanging out with fellow flyers was fun. 
    •  it was an awesome experience!! definitely had a lot of fun. next time, i want to try air combat... 
    •  The event was great. I had a chance to do most of the flying myself (with a bit of assistance of course). My instructor was great he allowed you to fly the place...but basically offered a little (or a lot of) correction here and there. I enjoyed meeting everyone. 
    •  It was awesome. We got to do a lot of the flying ourselves, then with some (ok, lots) of assistance during takeoff and landing :) Money well spent! If I were rich, I would get my license. 
    • Rhys (+1 guest)
       It was frustrating waiting all day (flights were delayed) and the free museum was actually closed, but piloting the plane was great! I definitely suggest trying something like this if you are curious about what it is like to fly.
