Someone who's flown with us thought you'd love this — so they sent you a friends-&-family invite to take the controls of a real airplane, flying from Linden Airport, just minutes from New York City. Just $99, a fraction of our regular lesson price.

This isn't a tour where you sit back and watch — it's your first real flying lesson, and you'll be flying the plane. You'll sit up front, one-on-one with one of our FAA Certified Flight Instructors, and fly a Piper Cherokee yourself: a ground briefing, time at the controls, and a debrief once you land. Your instructor is beside you the entire time, so no experience is needed — just show up ready for the best flight of your year.

And here's what most people don't realize: this lesson is logged toward a real private pilot's license. So whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime thrill or your first step toward earning your wings, it counts.

What's included
- A real flying lesson — you at the controls
- One-on-one time with an FAA Certified Flight Instructor
- Flown in our Piper Cherokee PA-28
- Departs Linden Airport (KLDJ) — minutes from NYC, free on-site parking

WHERE YOU'LL FLY:
The flight path on an introductory flight is at the discretion of the Certified Flight Instructor at the time of the flight, who takes into account weather, scheduling and airspace requirements. If you would like to fly into New York City airspace around the Statue of Liberty, a Statue of Liberty orbit can be added to your lesson as a paid add-on.
