Take a flying lesson over Caloundra with the greatest of ease! This super sporty Texan CC 550 wants to take you on a 1-hour ride of your life over the superb QLD coast. What could be better than controlling the craft at 3000ft, then handing over to the pilot for a 500ft, low-level super-cruise!?

- Exhilarating low-level flight
Main Description
Your flight will start with you getting to know your aircraft. After your briefing (which doesn't count towards your flight time) your instructor will take you through the pre start up inspection of the aircraft before you're strapped into the pilots seat.
Listen carefully as your instructor talks you through engine start up and the rules and technique in taxiing. He'll guide the craft into the sky and the next thing you know you're in the sky for the unmistakable, irreplaceable experience of flying!
When up to 2-3000 feet in the air you'll get the chance to actually control the aircraft! How amazing - actually being in control as two human beings soar way above the earth. Reach dizzying heights and learn how to steer this awesome flying machine. Toward the end hand control back over to the pilot for an exhilarating low-level experience down Australia's most beautiful stretch of golden coast. Now that's an experience!
While enjoying your trial flight over the most spectacular part of South East Queensland Coastline, including the beautiful sandy dunes of Moreton Island to the floorless beaches and hinterland of Noosa national park, Noosa north shore and double Island point.
While you’re on the Sunshine Coast you can take some time afterwards to explore numerous markets, held Wednesday, Saturday and Sundays or maybe include this experience as part of a romantic getaway for you and your partner.

I got this for my partner for his birthday and he absoulutly loved it!!! The instructer was very nice and I would recommend this to anyone
-
I was very happy with how RedBalloon managed the experience. My original booking was cancelled due to some bad luck and bad timing. It was just on the threshold of the expiry date. RedBalloon took a pro active approach in solving this and followed through to make sure everything worked out. I definitely will use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

RedBalloon is a great service. I have already recommended RedBallon to friends and family. Purchasing gifts, receiving confirmations and communication between myself and the RedBalloon team was terrific. A fantastic company to do business with. The Flying company staff were fantastic. My husband want's to go flying again. I will definitely be using the website again.
