Give the gift they will never forget — a flying and learning adventure we’ve designed just for kids. TakeWING's KidFLIGHT™ is exactly what young minds dream of — a FUN, hands-on, flight that engages our young pilots’ minds, encourages them to dream BIG, and fills them with a new self-confidence.

KidFLIGHT™ includes:
- A kid-oriented, hands-on aircraft preflight educational lesson. They’ll learn about the aviation alphabet, why runways have numbers, and how wings create lift too! Guided by an experienced flight instructor, our young guest will learn how an airplane is started, get to actually taxi (drive it on the ground), and share in the other pre-takeoff pilot duties.
- Flying the airplane! While under the guidance of the instructor, she/he holds the controls (all of our aircraft have two sets of controls) and flies the airplane. And, we throw in a little geography lesson too!
- Pictures? You bet! We take digital pictures while she/he is flying and the experience doesn’t stop after landing!
