We have done a morning flight before but it didn't compare to the evening flight. It was beautiful. The pilot Tommy Brown was wonderful, had the best personality and such a great sense of humor. His ground crew girl Rindy was really cool and talkative the entire time. The experience was perfect start to finish. I would say do it...

FoxyMurph, We are so glad that you say so.. Yes, an evening flight is a wonderful way to end a beautiful day in Phoenix. We always love to hear from our passengers. Thank you for your kind words about Pilot Tommy and Crew Rindi. I will make sure to pass along you words of praise. Thank you for taking your time to express what a wonderful experience you had. We hope to see you soon.

Tommy and Alex will get you high, wine and dine you in the desert, take all your money when no one else is looking, then drive you home (or at least back to your car at the airport). It’s all really much better than this probably sounds right now - and entirely legal. Definitely a dynamic duo that will show you a good time. It was great. Thanks guys!

NurseBrook. Thank you for having such a fun spirit and making sure everyone know that we are "entirely legal". We have never heard our experience put quite the way you have. But you are very correct, on all counts. We are so glad to know you had a wonderful experience and thank you for taking time to let us know.
