The pilot is very passionate about the history surrounding the plane and the world it operated in in various capacities. It was a novel experience being able to fly in a small plane while being able to see so many things from so high. I should've gone on a better day though.

This was a fun experience. We were able to fly over the Lexington . Would recommend to anyone wanting to see the fun of a small plane over the coast. The pilot also provides information about the plane and the area. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you

I was at the Rockport airport for an event with a school group and saw the tour. I am a non-current pilot and have not flown in 21 years due to injuries and life events. I've been thinking about getting current but hesitant. On a lark, I decided to go up with Benjamin. I request to fly over my house and neighborhood. The tour was wonderful and Ben was a great host but my problem now is that I want to get current again! LOL. Seriously, if you've even wondered, wanted or curious about flying this is a great trip, The views are spectacular, Benjamin and his team are excellent and the experience is one of a kind. I caution you though...you might want to engage in a very expensive hobby afterwards.
