Our instructor was very knowledgeable and taught us things to watch out for, and walked us through the entire process slowly. I had the opportunity to also fly the plane, but decided to give Andres my session as well. We took off from Farmingdale, NY at Republic Airport and we flew to Bridgeport, CT.
Since Andres had both sessions, we were able to try a "touch and go", where we land quickly and immediately take off again instead of having a full stop. Riding in the back was pretty fun, since I was able to enjoy the scenery.
On our round trip back, our instructor allowed for some freestyle soaring. Andres practiced turns and even did a 360°. It was quite windy that morning, but sitting inside, surprisingly I hardly felt the turbulence. It was a great little "adventure", and I highly recommend it.

Oh WOW how cool are you? That sounds fun and exciting, love the shots from the plane. I went on on open cockpit airplane ride once. And one day I want to go up in a hot air balloon.

wow that sounds super exciting and scary at the same time haha
What an awesome gift! Although the thought of being in a small plan frightens me to death. I'll bet he loved it though!

What a super present for Andres--you are the best. I have taken my oldest son on small planes like that, but I'll leave the flying to someone (unlike me) who always battles motion-sickness. Haha.
What a great present! I got my husband a similar experience flying a vintage plane
Wow this is so amazing! I'm afraid of heights but I would definitely try this one day. I think this is such a great gift you'll never forget gifts like this.
