In Flight:

• Once the aircraft is airborne, you will be allowed to walk about the aircraft (With the exception of the Huey and Tri-Motor). This is a great opportunity for you to take photos, video, or even stream your experience.

Landing:

• A signal will be given to secure yourself for landing. At that time all passengers must be seated and secured for landing, taxi, and engine shutdown. The crew will help you exit the aircraft after shutdown and securing the aircraft.
