Malachy's Soirée

Private plane ride for 2 people over Niagara Falls.

Details to follow.

Value: Priceless

The Very Fine but Very Important Print:

Timing

Mutually agreeable date and time to be determined.

Over the falls, the pilot has to maintain an altitude of at least 3,500ft. The area below that is restricted airspace for the helitour operators. We will, therefore, need a cloud base of at least 4,000ft. If a time is scheduled and the weather on that day doesn’t cooperate, the experience will be rescheduled to another mutually agreeable time.  

Aerobatics

There will be none.  

Manoeuvring

This is a small airplane and the passengers will see and feel the normal manoeuvres more than you will in an airliner.  

In the plane

One passenger will be sitting in the co-pilot’s seat with a full set of controls in front of him/her and full view out the windscreen and of the instrument panel. The view is spectacular and the pilot is more than willing to explain the functions of the various controls and gauges.

One of the passengers will be wearing a communications headsets, so he/she can talk talk comfortably with the pilot and also hear all of the radio chatter.

On the day

The plane will fly out of Burlington Executive Airport on Old School Line north of Burlington. The pilot rents the plane from Spectrum Airways, a local flight school and charter operation.  

The winner ang guest will need to arrive approximately 15 minutes or so before the flight. In that time, the pilot will brief you on the route to be taken and what to expect. In the airplane, the pilot will also give the passengers a safety briefing.  

Typically, the pilot is in the air for about 1.5 hrs.
