We were allowed to do the trial flight from Buttwil on Saturday 01.11.25.
The flight instructor is top, calm and explained everything well and understandably.
After the start +/- 300 feet above the ground, my son was able to take over and fly various maneuvers according to instructions.
The time passed far too quickly, of course.
My son was able to enter these flying lessons in his LOG.
It was really a lot of fun and an unforgettable experience.
Many thanks for the event, top organized and carried out.

Coolest experience I've had in Switzerland! I booked this flight as a birthday gift for my friend, and it turned out to be the most unforgettable surprise - he was so touched he almost cried! The whole team was super friendly and professional, and the communication before the flight was fast and easy. The view from above was absolutely breathtaking - flying over Lake Lucerne was such a special and emotional moment. Everything was well organized, and we both felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Switzerland!

Dear Sir or Madam,
I did a trial flight in Buttwil on 06.09.2025. This was my first flight with my own control of the airplane, in addition to a few familiar points. The experience/freedom but mainly the explanation and the view were simply great.
I can only recommend it if you are interested in flying an airplane yourself and getting a feel for the finer points of aircraft control.
The flight instructor was very well trained and very friendly.
Unfortunately the hobby and the passion is extremely expensive and the license would be very interesting but the requirements for the number of hours if you have the license is really high.
The costs in general are high otherwise I would be happy to join.
