Got this in my inbox, i know it's a scoopon which most people don't like and i must admit it's not for me. I did however think it was a great deal considering you get to fly the plane for half an hour and it also counts towards a pilots license.

      That's ok, they don't know your emotional age, jv. :P :)

    • khey on 10/11/2011 - 17:19

      if i have a plane, i wouldnt even let a person under 20 year to operate it.

  • jv on 09/11/2011 - 15:31

    167 have been sold and it states

    "Travel in a brand new aircraft"

    I highly doubt they will all get to fly a brand new plane…

    • GreenHornet on 10/11/2011 - 14:54

      :) yeah, someone will have to pop the cherry.. then it's used goods ;p

      i guess they mean they aren't using the 30y/o cessna 152s that most other schools use

  • footywiz11 on 09/11/2011 - 15:35

    Fly *an aeroplane.

    • jv on 09/11/2011 - 15:49

        Both spellings are correct

    • Chivalry on 09/11/2011 - 16:12

      shouldnt it be Fly 'in' an aeroplane? … unless the deal is for me to pilot one.

        "YOU take the controls with a fully qualified instructor by your side"

        Seems pretty clear. You fly it (in a highly controlled environment).

          I don't see dangling in the air with a novice at the controls considered "a highly controlled environment"… lol

          @ Elijah: Perhaps a real pilot sits beside you with a gun at your head, and if you do anything stupid or novice-like, they have the right to shoot you and land the plane themselves afterward. That ought to control it. ;-)

        • Chivalry on 09/11/2011 - 16:47

          oops, my bad. =D

  • moooooooo on 09/11/2011 - 16:38

    My guess is that you don't actually pilot the plane yourself for 30 mins. I assume you get a 30 minute flight and during that time, you are permitted to fly the plane, but it won't be the whole time. I have no evidence, I'm just speculating that if you got to fly it for 30 mins, they'd advertise you got to "Experience 45 minutes of incredible air-borne adventure", because they're not going to let you land or take-off.

    • Elijah on 09/11/2011 - 17:07

      I wanted to land dammit !

      • figarow on 09/11/2011 - 17:10

        me too lol, this is deal breaker haha

      You're going to hit them sequentially with one plane? Hahaha, back to the drawing board with you.

      Try the Gold Coast instead - take your pick of any of the 100 eyesores along the shore line.

    "You will only be asked to do things the instructor knows…"

    • retiredfeline on 10/11/2011 - 14:58

      Yeah, we don't a situation like this:

      Instructor: Ok do a frozzamatazz flop.
      Student: How do I do that?!
      Instructor: I don't know.

  • Elyxar on 10/11/2011 - 21:15

    I bought this for my father for fathers day and he absolutely loved it. the instructor was really really friendly and helpful.
    I can easily recommend this for anyone interested.
