Been on my bucket list for many years. It was great to check it off with my whole family. It was perfect weather. Our pilot, Mike, and his crew did a great job. The entire experience from start to finish was unforgettable!

What a wonderful time! Pilot Don with thousands of hours of experience knew exactly how to maneuver to find the right air currents to set us down perfectly, and, he told some great jokes. Champagne on the desert floor at sunset never tasted so good.
