Boston Harbor Sailing for Two - Product Reviews 

Boston Harbor Sail

"We had a glorious day on the water in Boston Harbor. The weather
was perfect, which certainly added to the enjoyment. The boat was a nice
reproduction of an earlt double masted schooner. The crew were friendly
and competent. One of them climbed up to the crow's nest to unfurl one of
the sails. The pirate fight reenactment was a little hokey, but I guess
some of the kids enjoyed it. We just enjoyed the scenery and the beautiful
day."

"I had a great time the pilots were very informative and friendly it was a great experience and I learned a lot including what 4G's feels like"
mick mcguire - livermore calif (Wednesday, September 17, 2008)



Great Time at Air Combat
"To Air Combat,

I wanted to express my experience on Saturday, July 26th, 2008 at Orange County Airport, Montgomery, NY.

I arrived at the airport around 8:00 a.m. to be met by Robert "Boom" Powell and staff. We had gone up to the briefing room and had some classroom briefings prior to flying. Myself, I have around 300 private hours and around 800 military hours during my Air Force tour.

Anyway, I met my opponent, "Woozle", and he told me he had done this 5 times already and was in the process of taking courses for his private pilot's license.

After the briefing, and putting on my flight suit, and sizing my head for a helmet, we went down to the flightline and checked out the Marchetti SF-260 planes. Got in the cockpit and started up the engine, and taxied out. We lined up on the runway and took off%u2026 "Woozle" and "Boom" were in one plane and "Smudge" and myself were in another plane.

Smudge talked me through some of the maneuvers and what a rush this was! I was in a euphoric nirvana high. We each had our practice targeting and kill and then we went into the real dogfights. To make a long story short, I had all the kills but one, and I felt right at home doing this. If I would have known that flying a fighter was like this, I would have changed my whole perception about what I wanted to do in life. But being 60 now, I can't turn back the hands of time. But if I ever fly like this again, I want to revisit Air Combat.

This was a phenomenal experience and I didn't know how to explain it to the friends and family that were waiting for me when I returned. Lots of pictures were taken and the video provided by Air Combat has to be converted to a DVD, but I will be handing out this experience to many of my family and friends.

When we returned to the briefing room for the post flight briefing, Joyce asked Smudge what was my call sign to be? Smudge turns and looks at me and says, "Smooth!"
Very fitting if I do say so myself!

I just wanted to thank Larry "Smudge" Vidal for making this flight experience a very exciting and enjoyable one.

Thanks again for a fabulous time in the sky.


Sincerely,

Jeff "Smooth" Winterstein

Perfect Gift for the Guy Who Has Everything
"Bluto and the training team made my guy's 50th birthday something he'll never forget. He was the envy of all of his friends and I got to hear over and over how great I was to come up with such a fantastic gift. We will definitely be doing a repeat in the fall."
Lelia - NYC area (Sunday, July 27, 2008)



Fighter pilot for a day
"It was great. I got in 6 dog fights with my assistant 'Nails'. He was the best. If you ever dreamed of being a fighter pilot and couldn't, this is probably a great substitute.
Thanks!"

John - Fullerton Wednesday, July 23, 2008)



Air Combat
"I purchased this experience for Tom for Christmas year before last (2006) we went to Vegas in Nov. 07 to redeem the gift.

The staff of Air Combat were beyond professional and were great fun to talk to and spend time with. The experience was one of a lifetime!

We were going to do 2 flights in one day but due to an error unkown error (stuff happens), Tom recieved 1 flight this time and will get his second filght this year.

I was SO VERY impressed with Air Combat in their attempts in contacting us to advise us of the error and give us the second flight that day. We did not provide a cell phone just home so it was not their falt they cound not contact us that day.

After meeting the guys and spending time talking to them I would reconmend this experience to anyone. It was by far the best gift I have ever given and I have no regrets in doing so!

Thanks Nails!!!!

Maria & Tom"

Maria Barbaria/ Tom McEvoy - Las Vegas, NV (Thursday, April 10, 2008)



Flights
"I have flown with this group 6 or 7 times. I have taken all the classes even the airobatic lesson. The instructors are a great bunch of guys and if you want Extreme excitment this is the place to do it.
I'm trying to get a lady friend to do it with me.
Don't just take the 1st class and stop. Do a double flight in 1 day and see how much fun it can be!
Believe me, you won't forget it. I don't know about 6g's but I did 5 1/2!
On one flight I shot down a retired Navy Capt who flew Tomcats 4 times. This is not like flying a jet, which are fly by wire (computer assisted) this is you, your instructor and the plane against another pilot. Experience isn't necessary.
Again, a great bunch of guys.
I recommend it to any one.
Thanks for the great times and I'll see you guys again. Jim, Normal and all the rest, sorry I can't remember all your names."

Schooner Brunch Aug 17, 2008

"My wife and I loved it! The sailing was great. To be out on the bay was wonderful. Started out overcast, but turned out to be a very nice day. I would do it again with out of towners to show them S.F. I would step up the food a notch or two if it was me, but with the limited space to serve it was understandable."
