This was an absolutely magical experience - Jim Terry did an astounding job. He made us feel so welcome and comfortable - his confidence in his airplane is contagious, and his willingness to let a visitor actually take the controls is an amazing gift to anyone lucky enough to join him. Highly recommend this wonderful opportunity.

A fantastic experience! Flying the C-47 up Eagle Mountain Lake was so much fun and the instructor couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. The only thing I want to know now is when can I go again!

To the crew of "Southern Cross", Being in my mid-seventies and having a high interest in aircraft (especially WW II vintage) all my life, it was a most gratifying experience to spend the afternoon with you guys in and flying the C-47. The obvious care and attention to detail that was displayed toward your guests for their enjoyment and safety is greatly appreciated by me and my wife Nancy. Please keep up the good work and I will always recommend your services to anyone I know with an appreciation for vintage flying. Rob Hopson 1504 Hilltop Ln. Pantego, TX 76013

The experience was priceless. To be able to see the look on my sons face as he took off and landed this awesome piece of history was priceless for me. The staff was 100% over the top professional.

Outstanding experience, flying a twin engine C-47! This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and bucket list log book entry in my lifetime! Absolute "must do" for beginner to very experienced pilot!!
