FAA–certificated pilot & flight instructors guide student aviators into Bay-area skies for views of mountains, landmarks & bridges
There are few things as liberating as being able to fly, which is why humans invented airplanes and why penguins constantly try to sabotage them by climbing into their jet engines. Feel the freedom of the skies with today’s Groupon: for $189, you get a flight lesson for two (a $390 value) at San Carlos Flight Center in San Carlos.
FAA–certificated pilots and flight instructors draw upon classroom training and individualized instruction to guide aspiring aviators into the azure skies above the San Francisco Bay. During one-hour flights, students take off from San Carlos Airport, absorb the landscape's beautiful views as they buzz over mountains, witness bald eagles' parliamentary proceedings, and look down over the Golden Gate Bridge. Under the instructor's safe supervision, one person can take the wheel and steer the plane, though a turn at the controls for both students requires an additional fee to cover a second landing, takeoff, and cargo hold filled with peanuts.
