Hands down one of the most amazing expierences i have ever had. Everything felt so easy, friendly, and relaxed. The pilot Mike is SO incredibly knowlageable and expierenced. I am blanking on the womans name who handled scheduling and such, but she made the process easy and clear. They were just so nice. This has been a bucket list item of mine for a while and I could not have asked for a more perfect expierence. Thank you!
Amazing Experience!!!Michael aka Rocket is awesome! Hes very passionate about flying and does an excellent job walking you through every maneuver.What a great time! will definitely do it again.They are conveniently located at the Long Beach Airport.
The experience we got in the air was like none I ever thought that Id be able to experience. It was the perfect balance between an intense adrenaline rush and the reassurance that you were safe with the expertise provided. The owner and employees gave a warm, welcoming, family vibe from the moment we set foot in the hangar to the moment we left. The flight in the biplane was definitely a life changing event especially with the aerobatics that were preformed. Try it! You wont regret it!
Skythrills was an amazing experience that is something to be on a bucket list for sure. It was totally worth the money for the Ultimate Thrill Ride experience. Michael, the owner and pilot, was super cool and totally into his job and profession. He and Zach, also a pleasure to work with, walked me through safety and instructions and then Michael and I got into the plane and shortly after take off I was in control. I cant explain enough how surreal it is and how much I look forward to doing something with them again when I return to Los Angeles. If youre looking for something epic and memorable to do, this is definitely it.
This. Was. Awesome.If youre thinking about doing this, just do it. Its one of the best life-changing experiences Ive ever done. Mike is a great instructor and really goes out of his way to take care of you.This was my first time flying a plane and doing aerobatics. Never felt in danger. Definitely going back for more...
Amazing time with Mike in the Waco biplane. This is a must do if you are in the area. Mike and the whole crew were great. He let me fly almost the entire time as we flew down the coast. Great experience.
This adventure was a gift from my wife for my 35th Birthday. Mike was a very informative and skilled pilot that gave me confidence when flying for the first time. We flew between Catalina and the Long Beach container terminals doing aerobatic maneuvers. At the end of our flight we flew over the terminals of Long Beach which gave a whole new perspective to the size of ships I work on.Thanks Mike for a experience of a lifetime!
What an amazing experience!! I was a bit scared to do it but it felt awesome! Michael - the owner / pilot was very professional and experienced and so fun to talk to! He made the experience unforgettable:)). Thank you so much !
Blew away my expectations; quite possibly the coolest thing I have ever done in my life. I flew a stunt plane and performed aerobatic maneuvers. The plane has controls for both passengers, and the instructor(Mike) does a good job of explaining everything. I did rolls, flips, spins, hammerheads, flying upside down and a few more things, all with Mike guiding me. And Ive never flown or have even been in a small aircraft prior to that day. I have not stopped talking about this experience since I landed back on earth, and all I want to do is go back up in the sky.
We had a blast in the 45 min open air bi-plane today (September 18, 2013). One of the best experiences I have had -- anywhere. The acrobatics in an open air plane are incredible. That was definitely a highlight as well as gorgeous ocean views, seeing a blue whale from the air, the funnest landing Ive ever had, and our gracious host/pilot Mike. Just an overall incredible experience and worth every penny. I highly recommend.
We (me, my 12 and 10 year old and Papa 64) used google offers for a bi-plane ride. (No loops or anything crazy!) It was a blast! Even though our ride was more of a cruise tour the pilot did just enough tricks to make it fun. Its family owned and operated by father and sons and they were are very nice and professional. We felt very welcomed and in good hands. Even though our flight was significantly delayed, which they said was unusual, we had fun waiting watching the other air craft and talking to the staff and others flyers.Next time we are going for the loops!
We just went on the yelp deal bi-plane ride . It was pleasant and fun at the same time! You mostly cruise around with Mike teetering from side to side to show you the sights. We did a 360, experienced negative and positive Gs. Do it!
Loved it! Mike is an incredible pilot who made the experience incredible. He allowed me to fly and do maneuvers to the point the smile was plastered to my face I highly recommend this thrilling adventureRick Stough MD
Just one word - AWESOME!!! I had never flown anything before, but Mike made it so simple. Enjoy the breathtaking aerobatic maneuvers over the Pacific!! It is a must do for all adventure seekers.
Five stars, two thumbs up!!!Biplane ride over Orange County with SkyThrills! was one of the most awesome and magical experiences Ive had. Guys at SkyThrills! are great and in love with what they do, and gain your immediate trust and respect. Planes are so hot, theyre like Lambos and Bugattis of the sky.I cant wait till I save some cash for their aerobatic rides over the Pacific. But ultimately SkyThrills! encouraged me once again to pursue flying as an ultimate source of thrill.
