Discovery Flights

“Every journey begins with a single step. Start your aviation journey with a Discovery Flight!”

If you’ve ever wondered what being a pilot is like, this is the experience for you!

On your Discovery Flight, you’ll meet with one of our professional and safety-minded Flight Instructors who will help you perform a preflight inspection on one of our aircraft. You’ll then embark on a 30-minute flight that will offer you the opportunity to take-off and handle the controls!

This is an ideal experience for those wanting to get a feel for what it's like to fly a small aircraft and see the beautiful Ozarks from a whole new vantage point. Allow us to give you your first opportunity to "Fly OZ"!

Please call us at 479-254-0817 to schedule a date and time for your flight. Discovery Flight certificates are nonrefundable and are valid for up to one year after purchase. If weather or other circumstances cause a flight to be postponed, we will work with you to find another opportunity to complete the flight.
