Catalina for Lunch? Vegas for the weekend?

"I walk out to the airplane after my various safety checks, started up the engine and I'm in Vegas in half the time it takes me to drive, not to mention if I were to leave during rush hour traffic on a Friday!"

The world from a different perspective

"It's just breath taking..I'm flying around Los Angeles airspace and my partner and I notice all the cars stuck in traffic... this new world we have the pleasure of participating in, is like a carpool lane on steroids"

I ended up buying my boyfriend an Awesome Adventure over Los Angeles as a Christmas gift. I am someone who does not like flying at all, but Bret made me feel so comfortable I found the courage to give it a shot. 


Bret was amazing, he was so patient with all of my questions, he made me feel so at ease.

Bret is a fantastic flight instructor. After taking an introductory flight, he helped me get my private pilot's license.


 He is an extremely talented and knowledgeable pilot, and made learning to fly less complicated and extremely fun! I highly recommend him!

Bret is an amazing guy. He's a great instructor with thousands of hours in the cockpit and has a lot of experience being a flight instructor. 


He knows how to teach and is very nice to talk to. I would 100% recommend getting your pilots license at 

Skyward Aviation.

My 14 year recently learned to fly with Bret at Skyward.

Bret was not only professional and highly skilled, but he made it intellectually interesting for my son. He was also punctual with his lesson times which was very helpful

I would recommend him to anyone without qualification.

Skyward 100% deserves five stars. I've never done anything like this before and Bret made this the best experience possible. When I reached out to him to learn more about the trip and schedule it, he was extremely kind, patient, and friendly. He opened up for us on his day off to work with our schedule and gave us the most incredible experience up in the air for the first time! 


Most importantly I felt so safe! It was the most amazing experience and I'd definitely come do it here again.

Yesterday I took my friend Bonnie on a day trip to Catalina Island from Sant Monica with Skyward Aviation for her birthday.

It was one of the "Awesome Aventures" Flight Lessons. Bonnie flew the airplane to Catalina, her first time flying or even being in a small airplane. It was an incredible day and she loved the experience of flying a plane for the first time.

Thanks so much Bret for the incredible day and making her birthday so special!
