Full description

Your adventure begins with a ground school where you'll receive an introduction to flight preparation basics from your FAA Certified Flight Instructor. But the true excitement unfolds in the sky as you embark on a "cross country" flight that takes you beyond the borders of Illinois to the picturesque Delavan, Wisconsin. As you head north, with your hands on the controls, you'll fly over Mundelein, Libertyville, and Lincolnshire, offering breathtaking aerial views. The journey continues as you turn left, heading northwest towards the Chain of Lakes and the charming City of Delavan.

Your destination is the Lake Lawn Airport, where you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a beverage or light lunch (please note that food and beverage costs are not included in the experience price) at the Lake Lawn Resort. It's the perfect way to relax and soak in the beauty of Southern Wisconsin before your return flight to Executive Airport.

What is the difference between the chief pilot and a normal pilot? While all of this partners' pilots are qualified and certified to fly and instruct flights, their chief pilots do come with more experience and accolades that may provide more comfort during your flight.

My son had his first flight lesson here, and he couldn't stop raving about it. The instructor received glowing praise from him. Everyone was friendly and professional, and he's already planning to come back for more lessons. It's safe to say he had an amazing time.
