wing it

Bay seniors eager to defy gravity might want to check into the introductory lessons at Flying Vikings in Hayward. It’s a 2-hour class starting with a ground briefing and simulator session, then you take to the skies with a seasoned instructor who shortly will hand over the controls and you can decide whether the thrill […]

winging it

Bay seniors with a lifelong, unfulfilled fantasy to pilot a plane might as well do it now. What’s the point in waiting? Flying Vikings in Hayward offers one off classes as well as lengthy programs towards earning your license. Classes take place at the Hayward Executive Airport and fees start around $130/hour. For the friend […]

tarzan geezers

Bay Area seniors with no fear of heights can now strap themselves in for a treetop tour of California redwoods. Sonoma Canopy Tours near the coastal town of Occidental offers 2 ½ hour adventures ziplining above the forest cover on sky bridges, staircases and rappelling back to earth. Beginners more than welcome. $59 for anyone […]

wing it

The latest step in human efforts to defy gravity, it’s called trike gliding. You’ll take off with your pilot from the Petaluma Airport for a 30 […]

it’s a bird

Kind of like a flying La-Z-Boy recliner, a motorized hang glider soars 1500 feet above the Sonoma countryside, swooping through the air like a hawk. The latest step in human efforts to defy gravity, it’s called trike gliding. You’ll take off with your pilot from the Petaluma Airport for a 30 minute flight, with music […]

heaven

With airfares to LA reduced to $54, flying nowhere for an hour for $495 doesn’t seem like a bargain. However, for a special occasion like a very major wedding anniversary you’d be hard-pressed to come up with a more exhilarating idea than a zeppelin ride over the Bay Area. These non-flammable vessels are a vast […]
