You will likely be amazed at all the choices that you will have if you decide to do a little sightseeing from high up above! Let’s take a closer look at the world of airplane tours.

Whether you decide to take an airplane tour in Canada, Arizona, New York, Florida, Sedona or the Grand Canyon, you will likely enjoy this 1-Day activity while you experience the beautiful scenery that exists on many of the scenic flights.

There are many airplane scenic tours that are available in the USA, Canada as well as other parts of the world.

For example, in Arizona, there are tours that will take you inside the heart of the Grand Canyon, if you really desire a close up look without having to hike down into the Grand Canyon.

Many plane tours exist that include spectacular views of not only the Grand Canyon, that also include a four-wheel drive in the picture. These tours are considered combination tours that allow the guest to experience both a view from up above as well as down below in a four-wheel drive vehicle, too! Fun!

Airplane tours can be a life long memorable experience if you plan ahead and follow some very basic but necessary tips prior to making any reservations, regardless of where you fly. It is important to choose a plane tour company that is both well documented and well known for its superior service and track record.

Here are some helpful tips when planning your next air-tour, no matter where you plan to experience your next air tour. This important information can be used for any of your scenic flights.

You will likely feel better and safer if you fly with a company who has been in operation for a lengthy period of time and with one who has an excelllent safety record.

When inquiring about an air tour, ask specifically what is included in the price they are quoting you, such as:

How Long Is The Tour?

What Special Attractions Will Be Seen?

Are The Planes Air-Conditioned? (All of the Arizona companies I researched noted that all of the planes had air-conditioning, but it would be wise to confirm this, especially during the summer months.)

Are The Tours Narrated?

Many scenic flights include narration along with individual stereo headsets for optimal audio of the information provided by the tour guide.

What Is Their Cancellation Policy? Please note that not all tour companies honor a refund policy, so it is important to inquire about a refund, should you need one. Some companies do offer a full refund with a 48-hour notice.

Are There Any Special Prices On Any Of The Tours? You can sometimes find summer or winter specials and save a significant amount of money, so ask about any current or upcoming specials. Here is another great tip that you can use. Most of the nearby hotels will have numerous attraction coupons, including air-tours, inside the lobby area.

What Kind Of Safety Record Exists?

The Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, now requires every passenger to provide proof of identification with a photo-id.

You will be required to provide either a state issued drivers license or a valid passport. You really do have many options to enjoy if planning on taking advantage of the variety of tours that are available.

Here are a few examples flightseeing options in Arizona

Take a tour from the small town of Page, Arizona, to the world famous Grand Canyon Airport on the South Rim.

These tours provide both spectacular views of the Grand Canyon as well as the history behind the canyon Some of these tours also include the option for you to stop in and experience the IMAX theatre while you are there.

Tours come in a wide variety of packages. You can go on a “short and sweet” air tour for a mere 20 minutes for under 100 dollars, a four-to-five hour airplane tour, or even an overnight tour, giving you the opportunity to witness a beautiful Grand Canyon sunset at the Grand Canyon Hotel which includes sightseeing the very next day.

I also discovered a four-to-five hour airplane tour in Arizona inclusive of not only a plane tour, but also a helicopter tour along with a boat cruise!

This particular air-tour was one of the more expensive tours in Arizona, which cost just shy of $400 per person, but it also included a helicopter ride and a boat tour, too. This specific tour includes a memorable air tour through the world famous Sedona area before heading north to the Grand Canyon, topped off with a delicious Barbeque meal!

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… how many times have you heard that? Well, as good as that advice might be for most folks, its but an unfair limitation on the folks at Cessna who have a habit of taking perfectly great little airplanes and tweaking them enough to make them remarkably and demonstrably better… as appears to be th case with Cessna’s upcoming CJ4.

The keyword involved with the CJ4 program is “More.” The CJ4 adds a number of aerodynamic enhancements as well as the Williams FJ44-4A engine to amp up the performance benefits numbers. Each of the FJ-44As generates 3,400 pounds of thrust, while the resultant max payload becomes 2100 pounds — with a full-fuel payload of a solid 1000 pounds. At max takeoff weight, the CJ4 will require as little as 3300 feet of runway and only 2665 feet to land.

CJ4s can also climb directly to 45,000 feet in just 28 minutes, and offer up a cruise of 451 knots — putting it solidly in the ’500-mph club.’ With its NBAA IFR 100 nm reserves, the CJ4 boasts a range of 1963 nm. Like the rest of the CJ pack, the FADEC-augmented bird is designed for eventual single-pilot certification.
