Gift And Introductory Flight Packages*

I'm pleased to be able to offer a range of gift and introductory flight packages ranging from $79 to $249. These are standard gift flight packages at Western Air Flight Academy. They are self-contained and no other costs apply.

The Charles Lindburg:
Discover the joy of flight! Take to the skies for a 30-minute flight. You will take control of the plane as you learn to fly straight and level, climb, descend, and make turns-the four fundamental skills of piloting. $79

The Chuck Yeager:
In this 45-minute flight you will have all the fun of the Charles Lindberg flight, plus the opportunity to see some local sights. $99

The Wright Brothers:
Share a flight experience with a friend. This package includes a full hour of flight, so you can each take your turn as pilot. Enjoy all the benefits of the Charles Lindburg flight, and double your fun. $129

Some people take these flights and just enjoy the ride, however, the ground instruction is tailored so that you'll be able to do the majority of the flying yourself. The flight times quoted are necessarily approximate.

You can bring a camera or video camera with you if you would like. The flight has reasonable freedom and so there is a good chance that we can--at a safe altitude--fly over a favorite Colorado landmark. Colorado's beautiful scenery takes on a whole new dimension when seen from above and should not be missed.

These flights make excellent gifts for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's day, and similar. One couple even got engaged during the flight!

* Notes and Restrictions

If you choose to pre-pay for these flights, Western Air Flight Academy will issue a personalized gift certificate valid for 12 months. You can also simply pay at the time of the flight. In this case, no gift certificate is offered
The package is available to people of any age, however younger children (under the age of about 12) might not be able to reach the controls properly.

Flights may be postponed at short notice if weather or safety issues require.

You can bring a passenger provided the weight limits of the airplane are not exceeded. Ask before purchasing if this is important to you and we can discuss the limits.

If you or a passenger become anxious or uncomfortable, you always have the option to end the flight early.

These flights are not aerobatic. The goal is to introduce normal flying for pleasure and transport. If you are a nervous passenger on airlines, this flight might be just the tonic you need. Many people have lost their anxiety entirely when they know what the pilot is doing and can see out of the front windows clearly while they fly.

Offer is limited to one introductory flight per person.
