Awesome Experience because of Minot Aero Center!

“Ya’ll missed out on an epic trip today! For introductory flight each participant flew their plane, with the instructor beside them, for 30 minutes. Afterwards, the first participant switched to the back seat, and were able to relax and take in the majestic views while the other took their 30 minutes of flying. Definitely 10/10 recommend! Thank you to Minot Aero Center for taking such great care of our group and for an awesome experience. See you again soon!”
