The procedural and ground portion of The Downtown Adventure are the same as Flight #1, but the big difference is that the actual flying time on The Downtowwn Adventure is actually doubled. With the limited flying time of Flight #1, one cannot get very far from the airport. But with The Downtown Adventure, there is sufficent flying time to get to the city and back.
The student will take off from Chicago Executive Airport, fly over Glenview, Deerfield, Northbrook, Winnetka, Wilmette, and Evanston, out to Lake Michigan then just over Bahai Temple. From there he will turn right and fly south down Lake Shore Drive, circle the Loop, the Sears Tower, and Hancock Building. Returning along Chicago's great North Side, the student will be able to fly over Wrigley Field, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, and will help with the initial landing procedures back at Pal-Waukee Airport. Truly a remarkable experience!
A twenty dollar fuel surcharge will apply to this flight..
Note: If the student is over 6 feet tall, or weighs more than 200 pounds -- or if you wish to add a passenger to share the fun -- please select "Yes" to "Upgrade Airplane" option below
