What a ride! Just laying eyes on this red biplane was cool enough, but when I crawled into the front cockpit of the airplane, I suddenly got the feeling I had just hitched a ride with the Red Baron and was off to engage in a few dog fights in the air! Actually, my pilot was a young lady wearing shorts and a tee shirt. I’ve done plenty of sightseeing tours, but there’s nothing like seeing the sights while soaring through the blue sky! I was like, “Wow! I was just fishing down there! Wow! There’s the seawall! Wow! There’s Galveston!” My airplane adventures have been restricted to huge airliners, so I wasn’t sure what to expect on this flight. Surprisingly, the flight was pretty smooth, and even though I thought I might be feeling a few chills as we took the air, I was cool, calm, and collected throughout the flight. What was also cool was the fact that the other pilot gave me a whole rundown of the plane and what it took to fly such a craft. I’ve taken a helicopter into the Grand Canyon as well as drifting over Napa Valley in a hot air balloon, and I’ll certainly rank this experience right up there with both of those.

My husband and I had an amazing flight. It was scary for me at first but Emma did a great job and I was fine after a couple of minutes. Thank you Emma for an amazing flight!

The open cockpit was very cool!! Wind blowing through your hair and the views were fantastic! The captain made us feel extremely comfortable and positioned us for many breathtaking moments.
