Description:

Get an introduction to flying with an expert instructor, and hop into the cockpit to take the controls yourself. Experience take-off, soaring, and landing in a Cessna or Piper aircraft as you fly high above New Orleans and the mighty Mississippi.

The adventure begins when you meet your certified flight instructor at the Lakefront Airport. Make your way out onto the tarmac and learn about your plane during the pre-flight safety check. Your instructor pilots the plane out of the airport and into the sky; then it's your turn to get behind the throttle.

Learn how to operate the plane's controls and pick up tips on aerodynamics, enjoying the freedom of soaring through the open air above the clouds. As you turn, dip, and rise, gaze down at the winding expanse of the Mississippi River and the landmarks, neighborhoods, and rooftops of the Big Easy.

As your flight time comes to a close, your instructor takes the controls once more and brings the plane in for a safe landing. Back on solid ground, pick up your First Flight certificate, an official record and the perfect souvenir for your exhilarating time in the cockpit.
