I bought my husband for his 67th birthday a bi-plane ride at the cost of over $500.00. in November of 2007. After many months of waiting for better weather, we looked at the ticket and saw it had expired 2 weeks ago. I called the company to inquire and Bonnie "one of the owners" who needs to learn, in an... more

A 40 minute flight in a 1920's bi-plane was my anniversary surprise for my husband, and it was the biggest hoot! Our pilot, Eric, pointed out places of interest from a perspective we never imagined, and even gave us some anti-gravity thrills. Seeing the Pacific and the coast from on-high was just plain cool. more

my wife and I took a 1 hour flight La Jolla Coaster flight early October and had a great time. Get the gripe out of the way first - getting through to them on the phone is difficult even on the morning of the flight to check the weather. When we arrived at the airfield it became clearer as to... more

I brought my boys out last Saturday for Discovery flights with Brandon and Dave, aka GED and Hobbs :) They had a great time. It was one of the few days that week with no clouds or rain so they said the views were great. Thank you especially for the hands on stick time. My youngest has a dream of... more

Tom I just got home from a flight with Vintage Vic and want to tell you how much I enjoyed the trip. I hadn't been at the controls for twenty years and it felt SOOO GOOD! Vick allowed me to do some flying and then showed me a coup[le of maneuvers that I didn't have the courage to try myself.... more

I was a fighter pilot geek growing up, and devoured everything I could get my hands on that talked about aerial combat. But no amount of book reading or looking at tape diagrams can prepare you for the thrill of the Top Dog Air Combat flight. The crew were professional, courteous, engaging and funny. But the kicker was that they... more

Hi Gang! I just can't put into words how wonderful my flight was with Vic in the SNJ, but I will try. The first thing was thinking of the brave pilots who fought in WW II and who may have actually trained in the very same aircraft I was riding in. So much history. This was especially poignant as I... more

Just this past weekend, myself and three friends were fortunate enough to get to go up and have aerial dog fights- just like what you see on Top Gun. We flew over the San Diego/Carlsbad coast in Varga VG-21s. Brandon and Chuck were great pilots and instructors and allow a lot of room for you to "play" and "dogfight". We... more

Something I thought I would never do - go up in a biplane with my husband over the Pacific Ocean and clearly see a 'mommy' whale swimming with her baby down below in the blue water. The people at this company make it so much fun, it was such a glorious experience, one that I will treasure my whole life... more
