Overview

Feel the thrill of flying a real aircraft with our Introductory Flight, an unforgettable, hands-on experience designed for aspiring pilots or anyone curious about aviation. Whether you're exploring flight school or simply craving a new perspective from the skies, this adventure is the perfect place to start.

Your flight begins at Hammond Northshore Regional Airport, where you'll meet your FAA-certified instructor for a personalized pre-flight briefing. Learn the basics of aircraft control, safety procedures, and what to expect once you're in the air. Then, step into the pilot’s seat and help taxi, take off, and guide the plane through the skies of southeast Louisiana.

With clear weather most of the year and sweeping views of the Gulf Coast region, this experience is both exciting and educational. It’s not just a ride, it’s your first real taste of flying.

30-minute flight with a certified flight instructor
Pre-flight safety briefing and ground instruction
