“Beluga Air is awesome! Big thanks to Wes and Kelsey! Wes is an excellent instructor and the Aeronca sedan flies like a dream! Been flying for 15 years and my 1.1 hobbs in the Aeronca was truly the best flight of my life”

“Trip of a Lifetime!
I wanted to take a sightseeing tour and get some initial float plane instruction. After years of flatland flying, I wanted to experience something new. Angela greeted us at the door and was just great! I have taken a lot of flight instruction over the years and you will not find any better than Wes. Very knowledgeable and made it fun while emphasizing safety first. A five star organization from top to bottom. Thanks again for making a memory of a lifetime.”
