Wings Aviation Services now offers Discovery Flights from our Fixed Base Operation at the downtown St. Paul airport. Every Discovery Flight actually counts as a flight lesson if you choose to continue your training. You can even take the controls and fly the plane for most of this introductory flight.
Our approach is to provide an orientation to the preflight inspection and procedures required before each flight. With Gift Certificates available for purchase, the Discovery Flight makes a wonderful gift for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, promotions or any special occasion.
