 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first time ever being in a small prop plane like this, let alone flying one. An AirBnB Experience called "Fly an Airplane over LA"  popped up and caught my interest, and I'm glad I checked it out.

It was a great one-hour experience that was part sight-seeing flight, part introductory flight lesson. Nirvan at The Flight Academy was my copilot/instructor, and did a great job explaining everything and guiding me through the controls and the process. It didn't actually take long to feel pretty comfortable with controlling the yoke to ascend, descend, and bank/turn.

The weather was great and the whole thing felt very safe and comfortable. Highly recommended!

He is easy to talk to, always considerate of our concerns and fears, and ensures that every flight is both enjoyable and exciting
