What is the agenda for the activity? What can participants expect? All flights take off from historic Van Nuys Airport where scenes from Casablanca and so many other great movies were filmed. Flights can be scheduled at any departure time between 9AM and 5PM. Upon arrival, you will receive an in-depth orientation on the aircraft and flight plan, as well as an extensive overview your pilot’s flying experience. During your flight, the pilot will point out landmarks and points of interest along the route. The Flying Adventures offered include:
Inland Jaunt – just as soon as you launch, you'll enjoy relatively low-altitude views of the Santa Monica Mountains, followed by the Universal, Disney, and Burbank Studios. Then enjoy dramatic views of the Hollywood Sign, the Griffith Park Observatory, and finally the impressive skyline of downtown Los Angeles before heading back to Van Nuys. Flying time: approximately 50 minutes.
Sunset Flight – romance is in the air! Take off as the sky turns amber in the west. Fly along the spectacular California coastline where you'll receive panoramic views of the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Mountains, and the multi-million dollar homes of Malibu, California. Return just as the city lights begin to glisten and glow. Flying time: approximately 50 minutes.
The aircraft is a 4-seater single engine Cessna or a Piper Cherokee. Flights generally take place below 5,000 feet.
