Response from Cloud 9 Living
Hey Lars, thanks for the great review, aerial acrobatics is definitely an experience of a lifetime. We're glad you had such an amazing experience and hope we will see you back again soon for more adventures!
My flight instructor, Jim, was fantastic. He was friendly and professional and was great at adjusting to fit my experience and comfort level. Booking was easy, and Cloud 9 Living contacted me after about a day, when the booking had not yet been confirmed, to let me know they were working on it. Great experience all around.
Incredible experience! Loved it.
As a thrill-seeker the aerial acrobatics flight is a MUST. Jim was an amazing pilot who has been doing this since 1987 and is incredibly friendly and trustworthy. I have done a lot of skydiving, cliff diving, motorcycle racing, hot air balloon bungee jumping -- BUT this was by far the most extreme and thrilling thing I've done. Simply incredible. Makes me want to be a pilot because I never knew that it was possible to do maneuvers like this. 10 out of 10. Would recommend this to anyone I think could handle it! And for those who are unsure if they can, Jim would certainly ease into it and not push you past your limits!
