    An elderly gentleman took advantage of his children's 70th birthday present to enjoy the excellent service of Airfly17. What a beautiful sight it was to see the Charente landscapes from above! I, who am usually quite talkative, spent the first part of the flight in silence, captivated by the breathtaking view. Steven was very attentive when arranging the flight and a very considerate pilot. To paraphrase BlaBlaCar, I wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary experience, which will remain etched in my memory.

    An absolutely fantastic experience with Air Fly 17! A huge thank you to my instructor, Steven, who was remarkably skilled at teaching. He has such a talent for simplifying things that flying seems child's play. Apart from takeoff and landing, I held the controls for the entire flight: climbs, descents, turns... Total immersion! The setting is simply magical. The view of the oyster beds, the subtle variations in the water's colors, and the currents at the confluence of the sea and the Charente River is breathtaking. You leave with stars in your eyes, and you even leave feeling a little cocky, as you feel like a real pilot! 🤭 I highly recommend it. A must-do!
