Discovery Flights

A Discovery Flight is a 20-25 minute flight for up to 3 people. It can be a joyride or a great way to see if you would like to become a pilot. You will fly with an Air Marion instructor, who will let you take the controls and fly the plane if you want to. The thrill you get may convince you that you do want to become a pilot.
