This was an amazing experience! We did have to reschedule multiple times due to weather, because our safety is their TOP PRIORITY! I totally understand if you are getting worried/frustrated because of the need to reschedule but please know, once you get your flight, you will see it was worth the wait! The whole crew is amazing and kind and there was an awesome surprise at the end of the flight! 10/10 recommended and can't wait to do this again.

This was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Staff communication is excellent. Our pilot, David was incredible. He is very kind and knowledgeable. You meet very few people who genuinely love what they do and he is one of them. We WILL fly with Austin Aeronauts again soon.

What a magical experience! Our pilot David was outstanding and made us feel like we were in good hands the entire ride. Seeing the sunrise floating 1000 feet in the air is something I will never forget. Would definitely love to fly again someday! A word of caution: the weather has to be just right to fly. Ideal conditions. Obviously important for safety. The trip may get rescheduled 10 or more times for this reason. But be patient, it will happen and it’s worth the wait.

This was one experience for the record books, I have been sky diving, Para sailing and done a ton of really cool things in my life. When I booked this adventure, I wasn't really sure what to expect. David and Frank made this experience one for the record books, the crew at Austin Aeronauts are exceptional human beings. I absolutely loved this opportunity to fly in the sky and earn our Certificate of Ascension with the team from Austin Aeronauts. I we hope to go again in the very near future.

Wow! What an amazing and beautiful experience. Couldn’t have been a more perfect morning. Thank you to Josh, Tyson & Gabriel for a great flight, they were all so knowledgeable and they made me feel very comfortable. I would absolutely go again.
