I accidentally booked this the day after I intended to go. I called that day to confirm and when we realized my mistake, Clea was awesome to fit me in that day. The staff, facilities and equipment were great and my instructor Eric was fantastic. Within minutes of takeoff he started handing over the controls until I was fully flying - it was a ton of fun and way more exciting than I expected! Highly recommend.
