Summary:
We had a great experience in Squamish BC with Dylan, a flight instructor and sightseeing pilot. He explained the basics of flying and controlling an aircraft and we took off at the local airstrip. After that we had a breathtaking sightseeing flight with a water landing and start. Once in the air, I could take the controls and fly the plane supervised. Awesome. Thank you so much.
