Akro Experience Flight
The Akro Experience Flight is an opportunity for anyone to take to the skies and experience the true freedom of flight! Loops, rolls, hammerheads, spins, and many other maneuvers can be performed safely, and enjoyably, giving you the chance to experience the miracle of flight in a way relatively few people, even commercial pilots, have ever have.
This is a 30-40 minute flight designed to give you the opportunity to experience a variety of aerobatic maneuvers of your choosing; as much or as little as you want. Breaking free from the bonds of earth is an exhilarating feeling by itself, but looking at the world in a variety of flight attitudes, feeling the Gs pushing you back in your seat, and then feeling the weightlessness of 0 G, is like nothing else.
This flight is available to pilots and non-pilots alike, pilots can log flight training, and if you’re not a pilot (yet) you can bring a logbook and log your first training flight. The flight can include a video at a small extra cost. I enjoy these flights, and I trust you will enjoy them just as much; and I individually tailor the flights to those who have never flown aerobatics, and even those who have never flown before. Please come join me for the thrill of a lifetime!

PILOT SERVICES
I’m always ready to hire myself out as an occasional pinch hitter. If you need someone to pilot your airplane or provide some co-pilot services, I can provide that.

If you need an aircraft ferried, I am very flexible and proficient in many common single engine airplanes, both tailwheel and nose wheel.
