What's not to love about the view from above... especially this time of year! We still have availability for Discovery Flights this weekend. To get on the schedule, call 724-481-1359 or email [email protected]. A discovery flight is not a sight-seeing trip. You will actually be learning about the plane and have a chance to control the aircraft with your instructor's supervision. What better way to spend some time this weekend?... See you in the skies!
