Flying with the North Florida Soaring Society
Sightseeing Flights
Sightseeing flights offer a great way to introduce anyone to the wonders of flight! These flights can provide you, a family member, friend, or loved one with an exciting and enjoyable flying experience as you "take to the skies" with an experienced NFSS soaring pilot in one of our Blanik two-seat sailplanes.
The price of a single flight is $75.00 and lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. All flights are conducted by designated NFSS Members who are experienced, FAA-certified commercial pilots. Flights are dependent on weather conditions, and are subject to applicable weight & balance restrictions for safety of flight. In addition, parental consent is required for individuals younger than 18 years of age prior to flying with NFSS.
