Step into the cockpit and take control of a real airplane as you embark on an unforgettable flying adventure over Rhode Island. This hands-on flight lesson at T.F. Green Airport is designed for aviation enthusiasts, aspiring pilots, or anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience in the skies.

Your journey begins with a pre-flight briefing, where an FAA-certified flight instructor will introduce you to the aircraft’s controls and essential flight procedures.

Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Rhode Island’s stunning coastline and rolling landscapes before smoothly touching back down. After landing, your instructor will debrief the flight and discuss the next steps if you wish to continue your aviation journey. Whether it's for personal enjoyment or the first step toward earning your pilot’s license, this experience is the perfect introduction to flight.
