Depending on demand, there may be a line waiting for flights. Prepaid and walk up passengers will be processed on a “first come, first served” basis. Plan on arriving about an hour prior to the time you wish to fly. It usually takes about 45 minutes to sign in and go through the processing and safety briefing. This is a popular program, we highly recommend you arrive before 11:00am to claim a spot on one of the flights.
We will begin flying at 10:00am until the end of the event at 2:00pm
