This is the best birthday gift that I've ever received, having said that... wifes and girlfriends, take note! The airplane is extremely well taken care of, properly maintained, stored in a hanger, and flown and owned by enthusiasts! Brian, the owner, is amazingly polite, knowledgeable, and anyone will notice that he's passionate about this beautiful Waco YMF-5 biplane! \t\n\t\nOur pilot was James who makes the plane handle like button and kept up consistently at 500ft of altitude while flying besides the Palos Verdes Coast line. We also did some very tight circles around an old sailing boat in Long Beach with a quick glance at the Queen Mary and the rest of LB. Then at FL1.5 all the way to the Hollywood sign and West La touring... I've lived in LA for 12 years and driven considerably in all of LA from the mountains to the beaches and wow, the view is quite eye-opening from the air. It's also quite strange and amusing to have 737s and 747s fly above us as they approach LAX... many waves from bystanders, too! \t\n\t\nJames performed a 5 star landing from turning nearly 180 degrees just 3000ft away from the beginning of the runaway and perfectly touched down after the piano keys. This was the smoothest landing that I've ever experience (yes, i'm comparing 777 flights too!). \t\n\t\nI'd highly recommend this breath-taking experience and friendly staff! ...read more

Brian...Our flight with you last week was just phenomenal, and I fully expect I'll be back to do it again.Certainly, being able to sit together up front was a big bonus , particularily for Margret,who gamely , but with trepidation , comes along on most of my adventures.By the time we were zooming past the Hollywood sign, Margret was enjoying the ride immensely.\t\nAn even bigger thrill was circling over our son's home in Topanga where our grandchildren were out waving, and then flying past Gladstone's at the seashore , where we had stopped for lunch.\t\nWe have taken a number of adventure flights, and could see that you bring a high degree of professionalism to your work, and the briefing , as well as the commentary during the flight, was both reassuring , and informative.\t\nWe wish you continued success with your spectacular Waco, and hope we'll have the chance to fly with you again.\t\n\t\nSoft landings.....M&M Miller ...read more
Out of the Box Fun. This small word can mean so much to your business. Having fun as a team bonds employees to each other — and to their company Studies shows that employees who have fun at their jobs are more productive, more creative, stay at work longer and pass their happiness along to their clients. A fun workplace is a major influence on an employee’s quality of life, and according to Fred Reichheld, author of The Loyalty Effect, just a 5% increase in employee loyalty can increase profits by as much as 50%. Out of the Box Events specializes in creating scavenger hunts for private clients that are built to engage employees, giving them a chance to bond away from work. By working on a hunt, employees exercise their creative problem solving skills while practicing listening, group focus and time management. Our clues aren’t easy, but they’re mind-tingling and challenging. A scavenger hunt gives employees a fresh view of each other — they can better see and celebrate what each person contributes to the team. If you assign teams to work together who have never had a chance to get to work together before, the scavenger hunt gives them a positive, playful starting place for their professional relationship. Founded in fun! When we design a custom hunt, we learn about your company and teams. We want the hunt to reflect what you do, what your goals are, and who makes your company special. We fit the hunt to your purpose, whether it’s to bring employees together, to give visiting branches a new view of Los Angeles/Southern California, to celebrate a successful year or project, or to just surprise them with an invigorating event. There are as many reasons to create a hunt as there are companies to create them for! Our Gold Hunt Package includes clues about your company’s history and industry. You can enhance the connection between your team members, your company and your market with this hunt. Our Platinum Hunt Package also includes clues about your team members. With the Platinum Hunt Package, team members not only learn about the company, they learn about each other — and come away feeling cared for and appreciated. So get connected, boost your morale, and inspire your employees to think Out of the Box. The most valuable treasure you find at the end of our scavenger hunts is FUN!
