Up, Up and Away - what a great experience

Eugene 4 March 2026

Chris was a great pilot who explained all of the controls and demonstrated the full capabilities of the Cessna 152 aircraft. It was a real buzz to take control of the airplane for a few minutes. Chris then put me through the G Force experience which was exhilarating. Highly recommended.

Amazing adventure

Jason 18 February 2024

Has been on the bucket list for such a long time. Kids got me this for my 50th birthday as they know how much I love aviation. We live under a flight path and I'm always watching the planes. Chris was fantastic an made it feel like you were preparing to learn to fly and take to the skies. Cant recommend this enough. Tristar were awesome!

First time pilot - smile ear to ear!

Nicholas 17 February 2024

Had an introduction to flying with Leo at Tristar Aviation and he was a brilliant and informative instructor who took the time to make me comfortable and talked me into conducting the take off! Once in the air he was even better, explaining every aspect of flight and provided lots of freedom allowing me to fly most of the flight providing me an excellent adventure.

I had an unforgettable experience learning to fly. I was able to have a go at taxiing, taking off, and turning. Instructor Blake was very calm, friendly and professional and shared lots of his knowledge with me. Loved the experience and would 100% recommend.

Flying up high

Natalie 25 January 2024

Victor was fantastic to learn to fly with. Communication was to a high standard and the flight was smooth. I was able to take off and fly around the Bay Area, with easy to follow instructions. Highly recommended to my family and friends and I will be back!!

The Introductory Flight was an average experience

Daimean 21 January 2024

I enjoyed this flight but more for the scenery rather than the experience. I think this experience is based on luck with which pilot you are paired with. My partner did this experience and was able to help with take off, flying the plane and then landing. My experience was very different in that I was only able to bank left and right, that was all. As an introductory flight I would have thought the experience would have been consistent with my partner’s experience where she was actually introduced to flying a plane, not just being a passenger. Overall I enjoyed the experience, it could have been more consistent with what the experience was supposed to be about.
