If you're searching for a discovery flight in Orlando, FL, you've found the right runway. Countrywide Flyers operates from Orlando Apopka Airport, where an uncontrolled field means less time waiting and more time learning what the airplane feels like.
Why a Discovery Flight Is the Best $99 You'll Spend
A discovery flight is part experience, part first lesson. You meet an FAA-certified instructor, brief the route, inspect the airplane, and fly over Central Florida from the left seat. The average Orlando-area discovery flight runs $105-$150. Ours is $99, posted publicly, with no bait-and-switch.
