The Pilot, Alex, was wonderful. However, if you are seated in the rear seats you only see half of what's pointed out. Yet you pay the same full price. Only saw a very small piece of the Grand Canyon.

Both my wife Pam and myself are still trying to find the words to describe this experience. Above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Our pilot, Fred, was very knowledgeable and made the flight that much more. Thanks and thanks again. This is the way to see the Grand Canyon. Also, the folks that helped at the station were the friendliest folk around. It was one of those events that we will remember for a long, long time. Thanks for the memories....
