I received a gift certificate for an introductory flight lesson here. It was amazing. The plane I flew was a C150. I had a great instructor named Leo who seemed very eager to pass on his knowledge and share his experience with me. Would highly recommend coming here and taking your first flight with Leo if you are interested in gaining your license. He will make you feel relaxed and ensure you enjoy yourself.

I flew yesterday in inclement weather conditions and the pilot was fantastic, you really couldn’t have asked for more! I was more interested in being shown the capabilities of such a plane instead of sightseeing and the entire flight was built around my preferences and what I wanted to get out of the flight. Their cool and calm but more importantly, friendly demeanour are welcoming and calming as a participant as I felt completely safe at all times even in what I would consider challenging weather. I can’t recommended these guys enough, from their communication about the weather leading up to the actual experience.. 11/10 wish I could go everyday

Had a fantastic introductory experience yesterday (06/02/22) with Thomas. I've had previous experience with flying, both in a real aircraft and in a simulator setting, which meant that Thomas was able to put my knowledge and confidence to the test. Thomas gave me the experience of being able to complete a flight from start to finish (inc. checklists, take-off, landing and taxi) and made the experience incredibly enjoyable. I would recommend Thomas (and the entire Tristar experience) to everyone.
Thank you, Tristar, for a fantastic afternoon.

Had an awesome time on my introductory flight at Tristar in the older, but no less exciting, Cessna 150! Thomas, the instructor, was very passionate about what he does and provided a good balance of guidance, support and opportunity to learn about the aircraft and the controls.

My pilot instructor, Andrew, was very thorough in taking me through the routine inspection of the aircraft and explaining each aspect and its role in the flight. I was also impressed with the way that he took the time to explain the controls and was extremely patient with me when I became nervous when it was my turn to take the controls.
That said, I enjoyed the hands on nature of the experience and that I got to be in control for most of the flight while in the air. Views of Port Phillip Bay from the cockpit were also pretty amazing.

What a great bunch of guys! I booked a flight experience with Tristar directly for my partners birthday and they were so lovely to deal with. The instructor who took my partner up was so nice, knowledgeable and funny. You could really feel he had a passion for flying and that made my partner who has a slight fear of heights, very comfortable. Can absolutely recommend Tristar to others!
