Many people who are scared of heights do great on an aerobatic ride. Flying in an airplane is a very different sensation than standing on top of a ladder, on a roof or a bridge.

Wear something comfortable. The airplane has a heater and air vents that can be adjusted to your comfort level.
We do not allow anything that may become loose in the aircraft like change in your pockets, pens, jewelry, keys, etc.

Yes. Please eat something about an hour before you come in, and be sure to stay hydrated. Flying on an empty stomach is more likely to cause motion sickness than eating beforehand. Eat something that agrees with your stomach. If you are prone to motion sickness, let your pilot know and they will ensure a comfortably exciting ride.

If you would like a 7-up after your ride we have them at the ready, but actually very few people get upset after a ride and almost never durring the ride.

The chances of feeling upset durring the flight can happen to anyone but are uncommon. Even people that have been up several times before can fell uncomfortable for no appearent reason. So you should consider what you are doing and be ready for anything. On occation we have had passengers feel a little dizzy just after the ride, but its rare to have someone need the provided little blue bag (for stomach upset) durring the flight.

Rest easy in knowing that the fun far outweights the potential for a little upset or dizziness. Plus, your pilot does not want to make you sick and if you ask to stop or go easy then thats exactly what you will get. We offer several levels of aerobatics and all first timers get a gentle version, unless you really ask for it.

We use Gs (G-force) to measure the loads that we experience during aerobatic flight. On Earth, we experience one G, the weight of our body when motionless. During most of our thrill rides, we pull up to 4Gs, meaning you will weigh 4 times your normal weight for a short period of time. The aircraft's structure is designed to withstand these load factors.

You must be tall enough to wear the parachute (about 4 feet).

We fly out of the Watsonville Airport 10 minutes South of Santa Cruz in Watsonville, CA. Weather permitting, we will fly over the beach and do our aerobatics just off shore with a breathtaking view of the Monterey Bay.
