I LOVED this adventure. The Captain was friendly and funny- -yet, I had complete confidence that we were in good hands. The views were stunning . . . especially as the sun began to set. It seemed like every minute I was able to take another picture that was even more colorful than the one before. I would suggest wearing a jacket as it gets pretty cool when the sun goes down. After our thrilling ride, the crew had set up a candlelit dinner complete with a champagne toast, bbq duck pizza, quiche and truffles. I highly recommend!!

Jewel, Thank you for taking the time to let us know our pilot and crew were in top form. We know when you are in Arizona for such a short time trying to get some rest, yet see as much as you can; when you take time to let us know that you had a wonderful experience; saying Thank you seems not nearly enough. We are grateful for your choosing us to taking you up, up and away.
