Title: Fight tour near Charleston SC?
Post by: Ozzy on August 23, 2019, 05:45:45 AM
So my lovely wife and I are coming up on our first anniversary (less than two weeks!) and we decided to go up to Charleston, SC. We both have been looking at different things to do and I have been entertaining the idea of possibly doing like an airplane tour of the city or something. I know she hasn't been in a GA aircraft so it could be a fun experience for her.

So my questions are; does Charleston have some great views from the air, and does anyone have some recommendations for a pilot and plane for hire for an hour or so flight? I know I can google an airplane tour but it's different from first-hand experience.

Thanks,
Ozzy

Are you sure?  Has she ever had motion sickness in the past?  Make it early morning or a sunset flight, for smooth air. Don't spoil the weekend by getting her airsick. LOL

I already did the google searches, looking to see if anyone has personal experience and/or some ideas

Not that I'm aware of and I was looking towards an afternoon or sunset flight. Just getting some ideas!
